Clean streets and rivers for Mbale: restoring the Union hillside
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Union hillside needs $300 for saplings and equipment.
🇺🇬 Mbale, Eastern Region, Uganda1,102 views
The Union hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 69 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 172 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:
• Tools and protective gear: $65
• Native saplings and stakes: $210
• Signage and educational materials: $25

Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Fresno
Sending strength, Hamisi. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Mbale
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from 6th of October City
