A youth football pitch for the Unity community hall: help our neighbors in Pune
A community-led a youth football pitch at the Unity community hall that will serve 600 neighbors.
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India1,256 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 10 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Unity community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $350.
It will serve about 600 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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 $350 goes:
• Materials: $210
• Permits and inspections: $25
• Safety equipment and signage: $35
• Tools hire and delivery: $80
Thanks for being kind about this.

take care. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Hang in there, Deepa. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Boulogne-Billancourt
Sending good thoughts, Deepa. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Take care
Hope things get better soon, Deepa. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings!
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Depok.
Thanks for sharing this, Deepa. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
take care, Deepa. More neighborhoods should do this. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Pune.
Hope it all works out. Great idea, hope you get there. Sent it to 34 people at work. Take care.
Take care, Deepa. Shared this with my family. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Chattogram.
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't give up. Love from Hamilton
Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Calamba but we're thinking of you
