Let's build a covered market stall space together in Epe
Volunteers in Epe are raising $550 for a covered market stall space at the old Liberty bus depot.
🇳🇬 Epe, Lagos, Nigeria636 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Liberty bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $550.
It will serve about 80 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in December 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $550 goes:
• Materials: $400
• Permits and inspections: $60
• Safety equipment and signage: $65
• Tools hire and delivery: $25
Every share and every dollar helps.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Queen?
Thank you. If you're in Epe I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
thinking of you, Queen. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. It's not much but it's yours.
Hope things get better soon, Queen. This could happen to any of us
sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Epe
Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Epe.
