Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Wafa in Cairo
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Cairo?
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt915 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Cairo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $520, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.

Take care, Wafa. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Cairo
