A community garden for the Pioneer community hall: help our neighbors in Ogbomosho
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community garden - we need $500 for materials.
🇳🇬 Ogbomosho, Oyo, Nigeria1,891 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Pioneer community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $500.
It will serve about 518 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in June and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $500 goes:
• Materials: $390
• Permits and inspections: $20
• Safety equipment and signage: $40
• Tools hire and delivery: $50
With deep gratitude,
Oluwaseun

Stay strong, Oluwaseun. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Rooting for you. More neighborhoods should do this. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Oluwaseun. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Sending love, Oluwaseun. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
sending good thoughts, Oluwaseun. Hope you get there. Sent it to 12 people at work. Take care
