A rainwater harvesting system for the Pioneer health centre yard: help our neighbors in Bergamo
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a rainwater harvesting system - we need $1,400 for materials.
🇮🇹 Lombardy, Italy1,787 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Pioneer health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $1,400.
It will serve about 105 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in February 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 $1,400 goes:
• Materials: $810
• Permits and inspections: $180
• Safety equipment and signage: $250
• Tools hire and delivery: $160
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Sara
Good news. Because of your gifts ($707 in total) I made the first payment toward materials. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 27% now ($384). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for materials is now scheduled.
