Baobab Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 118 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 176 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $2,650 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $1,800 • Tools and protective gear: $280 • Waste removal and skip hire: $290 • Signage and educational materials: $280 If you're reading this, thank you.

  • Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 8 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Dar es Salaam.

    • More neighborhoods should do this. Sent it to 5 people at work. Thinking of Orlando

      • Rooting for you, Arianna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
