I'm a retired bus driver living in Kinondoni. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $410, 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 one long 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Lahore donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Kinondoni!
