Clean streets and rivers for Manila: restoring the Liberty hillside
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Liberty hillside needs $300 for saplings and equipment.
🇵🇭 1006, Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines80 views
The Liberty hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 81 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 district council, 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: $185
• Tools and protective gear: $80
• Signage and educational materials: $35
I hope life is good to you.
