A ramp for Dola: volunteers and tools needed
Help Dola regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh641 views
Dola has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Dola can only go outside when two neighbors are available to lift the chair.
The materials (treated timber, screws and non-slip surface) have been donated by a local lumberyard. We need a carpenter or two to measure, cut and build, plus a helper or two.
The ramp has to meet the building-code slope requirement, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Dola's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.
