Clean water and shade for Jabalpur: restoring the Maple canal
Volunteers are restoring the Maple canal in Jabalpur; $350 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇮🇳 India916 views
The Maple canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This December, 93 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 123 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 $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $135
• Waste removal and skip hire: $125
• Tools and protective gear: $90
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

take care, Yogita. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Jabalpur
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yogita
Sure. The biggest one is native saplings and stakes, $135. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Thinking of you and your family. Great idea, hope you get there. After 16 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything
How is Yogita doing now?
Hope things get better soon, Yogita. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Yogita. More neighborhoods should do this
Thanks for sharing this, Yogita. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Caloocan so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength, Yogita. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Good luck. More neighborhoods should do this. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Saint-Étienne.
