A ramp for Khadija: volunteers and tools needed
Help Khadija regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇪🇬 Shubra, Cairo, Egypt1,149 views
Khadija has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Khadija 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 Khadija's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you, Duha. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Epe so I could bring a meal.
