Help Yeshi patch the roof before the autumn rains
The roof at Yeshi's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇪🇹 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia780 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Addis Ababa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $560, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over three weekday mornings.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Kasarani.
Shared this with my family. Sent it to 20 people at work. Take care.
looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. All the best
