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

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, 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 $150. It will serve about 387 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in July 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $150 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $25 • Permits and inspections: $30 • Safety equipment and signage: $95 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
