A rainwater harvesting system for the Union vacant lot: help our neighbors in Dodoma
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a rainwater harvesting system - we need $100 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Union vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $105, and the remaining cost is $100.
It will serve about 119 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $100 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $25
• Tools hire and delivery: $30
• Permits and inspections: $45
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best!
