A rainwater harvesting system for Baobab Primary School: help our neighbors in Tarkwa

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 12 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Baobab Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $90, and the remaining cost is $400. It will serve about 260 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $400 goes: • Permits and inspections: $30 • Materials: $350 • Safety equipment and signage: $20 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
