A solar-powered water pump for the Baobab health centre yard: help our neighbors in Rawalpindi
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a solar-powered water pump - we need $505 for materials.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $505.
It will serve about 128 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in January 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 $505 goes:
• Materials: $420
• Permits and inspections: $40
• Safety equipment and signage: $40
• Tools hire and delivery: $5
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

how is Bushra doing now?
sending love. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Moscow but we're thinking of you
Hang in there, Bushra. Great idea, hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Best of luck. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
