Volunteers in Muzaffarpur are raising $550 for a rainwater harvesting system at the old Liberty bus depot.

Muzaffarpur
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Liberty bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $550. It will serve about 206 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $550 goes: • Materials: $460 • Tools hire and delivery: $30 • Permits and inspections: $60 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
