Help Fikir patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Adama?
🇪🇹 Oromia, Ethiopia940 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Adama. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $760, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers who can help over one long weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

hope it all works out, Fikir. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Mombasa so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Adama.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Lahore
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Obuasi.
