Clean streets and rivers for Dwarka: restoring the Liberty canal
Help us clean and replant the Liberty canal before the September planting window closes.
🇮🇳 India1,288 views
The Liberty canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 76 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 46 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 $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $175
• Tools and protective gear: $35
• Waste removal and skip hire: $115
• Signage and educational materials: $25
Thanks for reading all this.

So sorry you're going through this, Kunal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Dwarka.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Duque de Caxias this morning.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Dwarka.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Dwarka
