A covered market stall space for Baobab Park: help our neighbors in Dammam
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $450 for materials.
🇸🇦 Dammam, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia1,075 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Baobab Park, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $450.
It will serve about 245 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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:
• Permits and inspections: $105
• Safety equipment and signage: $145
• Tools hire and delivery: $200
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family, Karim. More neighborhoods should do this. After 12 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. After 25 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Keep going, Karim. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Wishing you peace, Karim. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Cairo.
