Help Neema patch the roof before the monsoon
The roof at Neema's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇹🇿 Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania231 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Dar es Salaam. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $520, 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 anyone handy who can help over a 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

so sorry you're going through this, Neema. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Mar del Plata so I could bring a meal. All the best.
