A rainwater harvesting system for the Sycamore community hall: help our neighbors in Paarl

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Sycamore community hall, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $450. It will serve about 288 people, including school children and their families. 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 $450 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $40 • Materials: $380 • Permits and inspections: $30 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Zinhle
