Clean water and shade for Gondar: restoring the Harmony hillside
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Harmony hillside needs $250 for saplings and equipment.
🇪🇹 Ethiopia551 views
The Harmony hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 103 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 122 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $250 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $70
• Tools and protective gear: $90
• Waste removal and skip hire: $60
• Signage and educational materials: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

sending strength, Surafel. Great idea, hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Stay strong, Surafel. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Mandaue but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Hang in there. Great idea, hope you get there. My husband and I read this together
