The Baobab health centre yard needs a community fridge - Emeka's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Port Harcourt are raising $300 for a community fridge at the Baobab health centre yard.
🇳🇬 Nigeria731 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $300.
It will serve about 361 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in January and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $300 goes:
• Materials: $160
• Permits and inspections: $20
• Safety equipment and signage: $60
• Tools hire and delivery: $60

You're not alone. More neighborhoods should do this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Bogor this morning.
