Clean water and shade for Iztapalapa: restoring the Acacia riverbank
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Acacia riverbank needs $500 for saplings and equipment.
🇲🇽 Ciudad de México, Mexico570 views
The Acacia riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 31 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 64 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 $500 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $150
• Native saplings and stakes: $190
• Tools and protective gear: $160
Every share and every dollar helps.

hope things get better soon. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Iztapalapa
Hope it all works out, Regina. Shared this with my family
Hang in there, Regina. Shared it with a few friends. After 24 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
more neighborhoods should do this. Sent it to 32 people at work. Greetings from Bacolod.
