Mumbai
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 318 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $500 goes: • Materials: $370 • Permits and inspections: $50 • Safety equipment and signage: $50 • Tools hire and delivery: $30 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
