A rainwater harvesting system for Maple Primary School: help our neighbors in Hawassa

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Maple Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $350. It will serve about 176 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $350 goes: • Materials: $270 • Permits and inspections: $15 • Tools hire and delivery: $65 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Bereket
