The Harmony riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 45 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 86 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 $250 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $25
• Waste removal and skip hire: $40
• Native saplings and stakes: $185
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sandra?
Thank you. If you're in Tamale I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Rooting for you, Sandra. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Thủ Đức.
Stay strong, Sandra. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Take care.
