Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Kiptoo in Mbale

Mbale
I'm a home-care aide living in Mbale. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $500, 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 4-6 people 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 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. Thank you so much.

    You're not alone, Kiptoo. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 10 people at work. Greetings from Aswan!

      good luck, Kiptoo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.

        rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
