Clean air and water for Kakamega: restoring the Jacaranda wetland
Help us clean and replant the Jacaranda wetland before the October planting window closes.
Anywhere in the world510 views
The Jacaranda wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 60 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 87 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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: $220
• Waste removal and skip hire: $40
• Tools and protective gear: $90
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
