Opio can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Opio regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Kenya1,260 views
Opio has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Opio can only go outside when two neighbors are available to lift the chair.
The materials (treated timber, screws and non-slip surface) have been donated by a local lumberyard. We need a carpenter or two to measure, cut and build, plus a helper or two.
The ramp has to meet the local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Opio's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- one weekend
- format
- In person in Kasarani
- skills
- carpentry, measuring, power tools

Sending good thoughts, Peter. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
