Help Lipi patch the roof before winter
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Dhaka?
🇧🇩 Dhaka, BangladeshPosted Jan 27, 2026275 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Dhaka. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $700, 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 a small crew 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.
