Roofing help wanted: George's home in Accra
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Accra?
🇬🇭 Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana509 views
I'm a school janitor living in Accra. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $560, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over a weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
