Clean air and water for Durgapur: restoring the Baobab canal

Durgapur
The Baobab canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 30 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 57 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $150 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $85 • Signage and educational materials: $15 • Waste removal and skip hire: $50 If you're reading this, thank you. - Ketki

    so sorry you're going through this, Ketki. More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Multan but we're thinking of you. God bless
