A community garden for the Unity vacant lot: help our neighbors in Thika
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community garden - we need $150 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Unity vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $150.
It will serve about 479 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in March 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 $150 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $60
• Permits and inspections: $45
• Safety equipment and signage: $45
Glad we found this place.
