For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $400. It will serve about 518 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in May 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $400 goes: • Materials: $320 • Safety equipment and signage: $20 • Permits and inspections: $60 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thank you all. We're at 112% now ($448). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Small update. $438 so far, we've started the first stage.
Update from Embakasi: I made the first payment toward safety equipment and signage. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
