Two weekends of roof repair for Upendo, a single mother of three in Entebbe
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Entebbe?
🇺🇬 Entebbe, Central Region, Uganda343 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Entebbe. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $470, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers who can help over three weekday mornings.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.

I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
