I'm a single mother of three living in Kinondoni. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $260, 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 one long 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you, Wanjiru. Shared this with my family.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 11 people at work. All the best.
