Clean air and water for Makati: restoring Maple Beach
A neighborhood-led restoration of Maple Beach needs $200 for saplings and equipment.
🇵🇭 Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines382 views
Maple Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 110 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 50 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $200 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $70
• Signage and educational materials: $45
• Waste removal and skip hire: $85
Thanks for reading all this.

Keep going. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Kilkenny so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Atlanta
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Arnel?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about tools and protective gear, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thinking of you, Arnel. Hope this works out for you. All the best
you're not alone. More neighborhoods should do this. My husband and I read this together.
You're not alone, Arnel. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
