Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Kipchoge in Arusha
The roof at Kipchoge's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Arusha. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $470, 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 a small crew who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
Glad we found this place.

Thanks for sharing this, Kipchoge. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Siliguri donated after I showed her your page
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Arusha.
Thinking of you, Kipchoge. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Kipchoge. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
