Rebuilding after the building collapse: Riverside village needs your help

The building collapse damaged 30 homes in Riverside village. We're raising funds for repairs, supplies and temporary shelter.

The building collapse hit Riverside village on 4 December. My home was one of 30 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall. The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming. Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before. We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $950 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $145 • Food parcels for displaced families: $110 • Clean water and purification supplies: $70 • Roofing sheets and timber: $625 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Waleed

  1. Thank you all. We're at 36% now ($346). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.
