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

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $150. It will serve about 408 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in January 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: $70 • Safety equipment and signage: $50 • Permits and inspections: $30 If you're reading this, thank you.
