Roofing help wanted: Chebet's home in Dar es Salaam
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Dar es Salaam?
🇹🇿 Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania907 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Dar es Salaam. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $480, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over three weekday mornings.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
