Let's build a community fridge together in Muzaffarpur
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community fridge - we need $200 for materials.
🇮🇳 Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India1,723 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 23 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $200.
It will serve about 560 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in January 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 $200 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $70
• Tools hire and delivery: $75
• Permits and inspections: $55
Thanks for reading all this.

Thank you all. We're at 95% now ($190). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward permits and inspections.

thanks for sharing this, Neelam. This could happen to any of us.
Keep going, Neelam. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Istanbul.
Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Taguig
Stay strong, Neelam. Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Sending good thoughts, Neelam. More neighborhoods should do this. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best!
