Let's build a free library and reading room together in Wudil
Volunteers in Wudil are raising $200 for a free library and reading room at the Cedar community hall.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,276 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $200.
It will serve about 478 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in July 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:
• Materials: $125
• Permits and inspections: $30
• Safety equipment and signage: $45
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Dayo
Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($30). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward safety equipment and signage.

Rooting for you, Dayo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Novosibirsk
Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Wudil.
Keep going. Great idea, hope you get there. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
