A rainwater harvesting system for Freedom Primary School: help our neighbors in London
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a rainwater harvesting system - we need $3,100 for materials.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom746 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 30 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Freedom Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $1,100, and the remaining cost is $3,100.
It will serve about 132 people, including school children and their families. 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.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $3,100 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $140
• Permits and inspections: $130
• Materials: $2,830
Thanks for reading all this.
