A repair café workshop: a volunteer-led effort in Adama
Volunteers in Adama are raising $100 for a repair café workshop at Baobab Primary School.
🇪🇹 Adama, Oromia, Ethiopia1,360 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Baobab Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $100.
It will serve about 98 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in November and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $100 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $25
• Permits and inspections: $15
• Tools hire and delivery: $60
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Almaz.
Safety equipment and signage is $25 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Love from Tucson.
Thinking of you. Great idea, hope you get there. Thinking of Adama

Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
You're not alone. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Almaz?
Thank you. If you're in Adama I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
