Clean streams for Entebbe: restoring the Cedar wetland

Help us clean and replant the Cedar wetland before the July planting window closes.

The Cedar wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 53 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 59 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $400 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $220 • Tools and protective gear: $85 • Waste removal and skip hire: $45 • Signage and educational materials: $50 With deep gratitude, Nakato

  2. We're at 8% thanks to 2 of you. the plan for tools and protective gear is now scheduled. More news soon.

  3. Update from Entebbe: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 6% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

            Take care. More neighborhoods should do this. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal
