Clean streets and rivers for Lahore: restoring the Harmony riverbank
Help us clean and replant the Harmony riverbank before the December planting window closes.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan970 views
The Harmony riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 81 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 104 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $300 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $65
• Native saplings and stakes: $200
• Signage and educational materials: $35
Thanks for being kind about this.

sending good thoughts, Amna. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
Good luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal. Blessings
hope it all works out, Amna. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
hope things get better soon, Amna. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Nairobi this morning.
how is Amna doing now?
You're not alone, Amna. Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Lahore.
wishing you the best, Amna. Shared this with my family. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Take care, Amna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Hope it all works out, Amna. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Hang in there, Amna. Hope this works out for you. After 10 years in logistics I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best
so sorry you're going through this. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
