Let's build a covered market stall space together in Bloemfontein
A community-led a covered market stall space at Liberty Primary School that will serve 208 neighbors.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Liberty Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $700.
It will serve about 208 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $700 goes:
• Materials: $470
• Permits and inspections: $75
• Safety equipment and signage: $105
• Tools hire and delivery: $50
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Thinking of Bloemfontein.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from London.
