A rainwater harvesting system for the Liberty community hall: help our neighbors in Kaduna

Volunteers in Kaduna are raising $500 for a rainwater harvesting system at the Liberty community hall.

Kaduna
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty community hall, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 122 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $500 goes: • Materials: $380 • Tools hire and delivery: $80 • Permits and inspections: $40 I hope life is good to you. - Chidinma

Updates from Chidinma

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($101 in total) I made the first payment toward materials. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Kaduna: the plan for tools hire and delivery is now scheduled. We're at 3% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
