Let's build a covered market stall space together in Paris
A community-led a covered market stall space at the Liberty health centre yard that will serve 328 neighbors.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France578 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $320, and the remaining cost is $2,750.
It will serve about 328 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $2,750 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $150
• Materials: $2,150
• Tools hire and delivery: $450
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Udaipur!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Solène?
Rooting for you, Solène. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Great idea, hope you get there. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Solène. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Paris.
