Two weekends of roof repair for Anyango, a home-care aide in Nairobi
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Nairobi?
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya80 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Nairobi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $770, 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 4-6 people who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
Praying for you, Anyango. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Nairobi
