Clean streams for Mbale: restoring the Liberty canal

Help us clean and replant the Liberty canal before the October planting window closes.

Mbale
The Liberty canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 66 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. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $200 goes: • Tools and protective gear: $75 • Signage and educational materials: $20 • Waste removal and skip hire: $105 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Sending strength, Mwende. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Mbale.
