A solar-powered water pump for the Maple vacant lot: help our neighbors in Kaduna
A community-led a solar-powered water pump at the Maple vacant lot that will serve 250 neighbors.
🇳🇬 Kaduna, Nigeria414 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $150.
It will serve about 250 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 $150 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $40
• Safety equipment and signage: $30
• Tools hire and delivery: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best, Ibrahim. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Bengaluru this morning.
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 24 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ibrahim!
It's all in the list in the story. permits and inspections is the big one at $40, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Pasig.
