A licensed electrician to fix a dangerous fault at Githinji's home in Dar es Salaam
Githinji has a septic backup, and can't afford a licensed electrician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In March an inspector told me that my home has a septic backup. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $280 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed electrician who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $35.
The job should take about four hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request.
If you're an electrician and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thanks for sharing this, Githinji. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Coimbatore donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Dar es Salaam.

Praying for you, Githinji. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
