A community fridge: a volunteer-led effort in Rawalpindi
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community fridge - we need $450 for materials.
🇵🇰 46004, Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan1,186 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 12 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $450.
It will serve about 381 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in February 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:
• Tools hire and delivery: $20
• Materials: $390
• Safety equipment and signage: $40
Thank you so much.

Updates from Babar
Small update. $122 so far, I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($122 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $25 raised so far (6%). I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Rooting for you, Babar. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Bangkok
Rooting for you. More neighborhoods should do this. God bless
