A community fridge: a volunteer-led effort in Jodhpur

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community fridge - we need $450 for materials.

Jodhpur
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Harmony Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $450. It will serve about 145 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in October and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $450 goes: • Materials: $330 • Permits and inspections: $30 • Safety equipment and signage: $40 • Tools hire and delivery: $50 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Raghavan

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.
