Baobab Park needs a youth football pitch - Rose's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $550 for materials.
🇰🇪 Embakasi, Nairobi, Kenya1,187 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Baobab Park, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $550.
It will serve about 505 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $550 goes:
• Materials: $400
• Permits and inspections: $40
• Tools hire and delivery: $110
Glad we found this place.

thanks for sharing this, Rose. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Sending love. More neighborhoods should do this. Wish I lived closer to Hồ Chí Minh City so I could bring a meal.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. After 16 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Abbottabad.
Good luck, Rose. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 14 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Keep going, Rose. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
