A covered market stall space for the old Freedom bus depot: help our neighbors in Jaipur
Volunteers in Jaipur are raising $150 for a covered market stall space at the old Freedom bus depot.
🇮🇳 Jaipur, Rajasthan, India1,003 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 30 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Freedom bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $100, and the remaining cost is $150.
It will serve about 274 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.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $150 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $50
• Safety equipment and signage: $65
• Tools hire and delivery: $35
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Stay strong, Noman. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Noman.
It's all in the list in the story. permits and inspections is the big one at $50, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Praying for you, Noman. Your post was clear and honest.
thanks for sharing this, Noman. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Noman?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about permits and inspections, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Rooting for you, Noman. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Celaya this morning. Thinking of Jaipur.
Keep going, Noman. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My husband and I read this together. Take care
So sorry you're going through this, Noman. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
Sending strength, Noman. Great idea, hope you get there.
Thinking of you, Noman. Great idea, hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Kano.
