A ramp for Mulu: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Bahir Dar.
🇪🇹 Bahir Dar, Amhara, Ethiopia522 views
Mulu has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Mulu 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, 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 Mulu's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Tsion. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. All the best.

Thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 16 people at work.
thanks for sharing this, Tsion. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Bahir Dar.
