A covered market stall space for the Acacia vacant lot: help our neighbors in Cairo
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $550 for materials.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt179 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $550.
It will serve about 589 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $550 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $35
• Safety equipment and signage: $20
• Materials: $495
Thanks for being kind about this.

hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Love from Gaya.
Great idea, hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Cairo.
