The Freedom community hall needs a covered market stall space - Ruth's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $500 for materials.
🇹🇿 Dodoma, Dodoma, Tanzania1,652 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Freedom community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $500.
It will serve about 464 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in March 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 $500 goes:
• Materials: $370
• Permits and inspections: $45
• Safety equipment and signage: $15
• Tools hire and delivery: $70
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

your post was clear and honest. Love from Kediri.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Dodoma
Thank you. If you're in Dodoma I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
praying for you, Ruth. Great idea, hope you get there. Greetings from San Jose.
Rooting for you, Ruth. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Montpellier donated after I showed her your page. God bless
how is Ruth doing now?
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from București.
Sending love, Ruth. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Kano but we're thinking of you. Love from Kano
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Kraków.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope March is when things finally get easier.
