Clean air and water for Bogra: restoring the Freedom riverbank
Help us clean and replant the Freedom riverbank before the June planting window closes.
🇧🇩 Bogra, Rajshahi, Bangladesh1,647 views
The Freedom riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 114 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 44 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $240
• Tools and protective gear: $60
• Waste removal and skip hire: $115
• Signage and educational materials: $35
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

sending strength, Shuvo. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to El Paso so I could bring a meal. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Shuvo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Hang in there, Shuvo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 22 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
