Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Hellen in Mombasa
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Mombasa?
🇰🇪 Mombasa, Mombasa, Kenya986 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Mombasa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $760, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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.
Thank you so much.
