Cedar Primary School needs a rainwater harvesting system - Nasser's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Giza are raising $600 for a rainwater harvesting system at Cedar Primary School.
Anywhere in the world1,583 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 23 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Cedar Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $600.
It will serve about 592 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $600 goes:
• Materials: $480
• Permits and inspections: $20
• Safety equipment and signage: $40
• Tools hire and delivery: $60
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Nasser
Wanted to say thank you properly. 16% funded and I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.
Small update. $46 so far, I made the first payment toward safety equipment and signage.

Great idea, hope you get there. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from London
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
So sorry you're going through this, Nasser. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
good luck, Nasser. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Love from Hanoi.
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Take care.
