Roofing help wanted: Irene's home in Mwanza
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Mwanza?
🇹🇿 Mwanza, Tanzania1,451 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Mwanza. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $570, 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 anyone handy 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.

Wishing you the best, Irene. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Naples
