Build a wheelchair ramp for Habib in Dhaka
Habib uses a wheelchair and cannot leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Bangladesh59 views
Habib has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Habib 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Habib's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this, Sharmin. Get well soon. Thinking of Dhaka.
Praying for you, Sharmin. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Rawalpindi so I could bring a meal!
