Build a wheelchair ramp for Yewande in Lagos

Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Lagos.

Lagos
Yewande has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Yewande 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 building-code slope requirement, 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 Yewande's family will cook lunch for the team. Glad we found this place.
