Let's build a repair café workshop together in Zaria
Volunteers in Zaria are raising $350 for a repair café workshop at Pioneer Primary School.
🇳🇬 Zaria, Kaduna, Nigeria1,155 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Pioneer Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $350.
It will serve about 204 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $350 goes:
• Materials: $270
• Permits and inspections: $25
• Safety equipment and signage: $20
• Tools hire and delivery: $35
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good luck. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
