Embakasi
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Freedom health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $400. It will serve about 217 people, including school children and their families. 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 $400 goes: • Materials: $250 • Permits and inspections: $45 • Safety equipment and signage: $45 • Tools hire and delivery: $60 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Nyambura
