Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Byaruhanga in Dar es Salaam
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Dar es Salaam?

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Dar es Salaam. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $750, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 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.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Thủ Đức donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
