🇵🇰 38071, Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan1,591 views
Freedom Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 58 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 152 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 $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $135
• Tools and protective gear: $75
• Waste removal and skip hire: $85
• Signage and educational materials: $55
