Let's build a community fridge together in Accra

Volunteers in Accra are raising $350 for a community fridge at Freedom Park.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Freedom Park, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $350. It will serve about 273 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in November and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $350 goes: • Permits and inspections: $15 • Materials: $280 • Tools hire and delivery: $55 Thank you for reading my story. - Araba

    Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. After 18 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
