Lotus Primary School needs a repair café workshop - Kevin's neighborhood project

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a repair café workshop - we need $400 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Lotus Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $400. It will serve about 288 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $400 goes: • Materials: $220 • Permits and inspections: $60 • Safety equipment and signage: $35 • Tools hire and delivery: $85 With deep gratitude, Kevin

Updates from Kevin

  1. Update from Nairobi: I made the first payment toward materials. We're at 65% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
