Let's build a playground together in Epe
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a playground - we need $600 for materials.
🇳🇬 Epe, Lagos, Nigeria1,238 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Sycamore Park, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $600.
It will serve about 184 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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 $600 goes:
• Materials: $500
• Safety equipment and signage: $60
• Permits and inspections: $40
Thanks for being kind about this.

Looking forward to the next update. Love from Bristol.
take care, Rotimi. Great idea, hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Epe.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Buffalo so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Brest.
Sending love. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Fort Worth this morning. Blessings
