Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Joy in Kano
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Kano?
🇳🇬 Kano, Nigeria750 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Kano. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $680, 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 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 40 people at work. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
