A free library and reading room for Sycamore Primary School: help our neighbors in Kisumu

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Sycamore Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $700. It will serve about 141 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $700 goes: • Materials: $540 • Permits and inspections: $20 • Safety equipment and signage: $50 • Tools hire and delivery: $90 Thanks for being kind about this.
