A sensory garden for children with autism: a volunteer-led effort in Kasarani

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 12 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Jacaranda Park, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $150. It will serve about 465 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $150 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $25 • Permits and inspections: $35 • Tools hire and delivery: $90 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Opio
