Clean streets and rivers for Jessore: restoring the Unity hillside
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Unity hillside needs $300 for saplings and equipment.
🇧🇩 Jessore, Khulna, Bangladesh1,296 views
The Unity hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 30 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 77 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $195
• Tools and protective gear: $40
• Waste removal and skip hire: $55
• Signage and educational materials: $10
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this, Mahin. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. Sent it to 17 people at work.
Wishing you the best, Mahin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Alexandria so I could bring a meal. Love from Mysuru

Thinking of you, Mahin. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Sending strength, Mahin. More neighborhoods should do this. Take care.
best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
rooting for you, Mahin. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Love from Macon.
Wishing you peace. More neighborhoods should do this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
