A covered market stall space for the Lotus community hall: help our neighbors in Makassar
A community-led a covered market stall space at the Lotus community hall that will serve 167 neighbors.
🇮🇩 Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia1,108 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Lotus community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $750.
It will serve about 167 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $750 goes:
• Materials: $580
• Permits and inspections: $55
• Safety equipment and signage: $30
• Tools hire and delivery: $85
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hang in there, Maya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Sending strength, Maya. Hope you get there. All the best
Hope it all works out, Maya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Makassar.
