Carpenters wanted: an entrance ramp for Januka
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Pokhara.
🇳🇵 Gandaki, Nepal54 views
Januka has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Januka 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Januka's family will cook lunch for the team.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Ciudad de México.
stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 19 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
