Clean streams for Mwanza: restoring Pioneer Beach
Help us clean and replant Pioneer Beach before the June planting window closes.
🇹🇿 Mwanza, Tanzania1,066 views
Pioneer Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 98 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 67 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 $250 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $80
• Tools and protective gear: $65
• Waste removal and skip hire: $90
• Signage and educational materials: $15
Thank you so much.
