Two weekends of roof repair for Samuel, a school janitor in Kisumu
The roof at Samuel's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇰🇪 Kisumu, Kisumu, Kenya644 views
I'm a school janitor living in Kisumu. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $880, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over one long weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
