A playground for the Baobab vacant lot: help our neighbors in Kinondoni
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a playground - we need $300 for materials.
🇹🇿 Kinondoni, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania954 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $300.
It will serve about 361 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $300 goes:
• Materials: $210
• Permits and inspections: $30
• Safety equipment and signage: $40
• Tools hire and delivery: $20
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
