A rainwater harvesting system: a volunteer-led effort in Caloocan

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Lotus Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $550. It will serve about 491 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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 $550 goes: • Materials: $400 • Safety equipment and signage: $30 • Tools hire and delivery: $120 Thank you so much. - Francis
