Clean streets and rivers for Hanoi: restoring the Maple riverbank
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Maple riverbank needs $350 for saplings and equipment.
🇻🇳 Vietnam1,072 views
The Maple riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 83 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 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 $350 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $40
• Native saplings and stakes: $230
• Waste removal and skip hire: $80
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong, Dũng. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
best of luck, Dũng. Hope you get there. Thinking of Hanoi.
Keep going, Dũng. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 30 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Dũng?
Thank you. If you're in Hanoi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Stay strong, Dũng. Looking forward to the next update!

Thanks for sharing this, Dũng. More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
