Clean streams for Kasarani: restoring the Unity wetland
Volunteers are restoring the Unity wetland in Kasarani; $300 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇰🇪 Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya792 views
The Unity wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 86 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 64 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $125
• Tools and protective gear: $85
• Waste removal and skip hire: $65
• Signage and educational materials: $25
Glad we found this place.

hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless

Stay strong, Omondi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Kasarani!
Sending love, Omondi. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Wish I lived closer to Comilla so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
More neighborhoods should do this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
