Two weekends of roof repair for Macharia, a retired bus driver in Mwanza
Macharia, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Mwanza.
🇹🇿 Mwanza, Tanzania601 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Mwanza. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $530, 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Sending strength, Macharia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
