Roofing help wanted: Salim's home in Thika
The roof at Salim's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇰🇪 Kiambu, Kenya310 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Thika. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $410, 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 three or four volunteers who can help over one long weekend.
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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
