Build a wheelchair ramp for Nakato in Kasarani

Help Nakato regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Kasarani
Nakato has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Nakato 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate six hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Nakato's family will cook lunch for the team. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      Sending good thoughts, Aisha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

      • Allan A. Flores

        Wishing you peace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Thane.
