A repair café workshop for the old Union bus depot: help our neighbors in Sandton
Volunteers in Sandton are raising $300 for a repair café workshop at the old Union bus depot.
🇿🇦 Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa1,180 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Union bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $300.
It will serve about 341 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in September 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $300 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $115
• Permits and inspections: $50
• Tools hire and delivery: $135
Thank you so much.
