Let's build a repair café workshop together in Asaba
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a repair café workshop - we need $350 for materials.
🇳🇬 Asaba, Delta, Nigeria1,038 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Maple Park, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $350.
It will serve about 432 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $350 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $60
• Materials: $250
• Permits and inspections: $40
Thank you so much.

Hang in there, Nneka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Asaba!
Praying for you, Nneka. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. God bless!
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Kharkiv.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
