Let's build a repair café workshop together in Comilla
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a repair café workshop - we need $350 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Liberty bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $350.
It will serve about 403 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $350 goes:
• Materials: $230
• Permits and inspections: $25
• Safety equipment and signage: $50
• Tools hire and delivery: $45
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
