We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $450 for materials.

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Acacia Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $170, and the remaining cost is $450. It will serve about 240 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 $450 goes: • Materials: $370 • Tools hire and delivery: $40 • Safety equipment and signage: $40 Glad we found this place. - Joya

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Joya

      • Joya MiaOwnerAnswerID verified

        Sure. The biggest one is materials, $370. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. I'll keep the page updated.

    • Emma Blom

      Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings

          wishing you peace, Joya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Badagry so I could bring a meal
