A playground for the Jacaranda vacant lot: help our neighbors in Nairobi

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a playground - we need $750 for materials.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Jacaranda vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $750. It will serve about 344 people, including school children and their families. 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 $750 goes: • Materials: $600 • Permits and inspections: $30 • Safety equipment and signage: $40 • Tools hire and delivery: $80 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

      Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

        Hope it all works out, Nyambura. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
