Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Fatuma in Kampala
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Kampala?
🇺🇬 Kampala, Central Region, Uganda333 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Kampala. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $440, 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 one long 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 hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon, Fatuma. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Pune donated after I showed her your page.
Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Kampala.
Stay strong, Fatuma. This could happen to any of us. Love from Rabat.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Moscow so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
