Clean streams for Warangal: restoring the Pioneer canal
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Pioneer canal needs $250 for saplings and equipment.

The Pioneer canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 90 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 123 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: $125
• Tools and protective gear: $70
• Waste removal and skip hire: $35
• Signage and educational materials: $20
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Tokyo.
Wishing you the best, Payal. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Good luck. Great idea, hope you get there. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Warangal
wishing you peace, Payal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Agra!
