A rainwater harvesting system: a volunteer-led effort in Antalya
Volunteers in Antalya are raising $750 for a rainwater harvesting system at Cedar Park.
🇹🇷 Antalya, Antalya, TürkiyePosted Oct 1, 20261,633 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Cedar Park, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $750.
It will serve about 90 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $750 goes:
• Materials: $480
• Permits and inspections: $110
• Safety equipment and signage: $55
• Tools hire and delivery: $105
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Yağmur. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Yağmur. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Antalya.
Wishing you the best, Yağmur. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Nha Trang this morning.
Thanks for sharing this, Yağmur. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together.
Sending strength, Yağmur. Hope you get there. All the best.
Praying for you, Yağmur. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
best of luck, Yağmur. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Hubballi so I could bring a meal. Love from Saint-Denis.
