Johannesburg
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Union health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $900. It will serve about 262 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 $900 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $50 • Materials: $750 • Permits and inspections: $100 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
