A ramp for Halima: volunteers and tools needed
Halima uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇰🇪 Eldoret, Uasin Gishu, Kenya1,638 views
Halima has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Halima 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Halima's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace, Neema. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal.
