Two weekends of roof repair for Amani, a widowed grandmother in Kikuyu
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Kikuyu?
🇰🇪 Kikuyu, Kiambu, Kenya1,082 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Kikuyu. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $440, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over a 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.
Glad we found this place.

Looking forward to the next update. I hope August is when things finally get easier. All the best
Best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Hialeah but we're thinking of you.
good luck. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Good luck, Amani. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Quetta donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
