Roofing help wanted: Njoroge's home in Thika
The roof at Njoroge's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇰🇪 Kiambu, Kenya653 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Thika. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $800, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Keep going, Njoroge. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
Take care, Njoroge. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Stay strong, Njoroge. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Sending strength, Njoroge. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Los Angeles.
Good luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
