A ramp for Salim: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Alexandria.
🇪🇬 Alexandria, Egypt439 views
Salim has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Salim 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Salim's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Take care, Nasser. Looking forward to the next update.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Alexandria. I'll ask around and let you know!
