Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Aisha in Cairo
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Cairo?
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt555 views
I'm a school janitor living in Cairo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $450, 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 4-6 people 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.

Stay strong, Aisha. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Yonkers this morning. Take care.
