A ramp for Kayode: volunteers and tools needed

Kayode uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Kayode has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Kayode 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate ten hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Kayode's family will cook lunch for the team. Glad we found this place.

effort: one weekend
format: In person in Gwagwalada
skills: carpentry, measuring, power tools
