Clean water and shade for Lalitpur: restoring Cedar Creek
A neighborhood-led restoration of Cedar Creek needs $200 for saplings and equipment.
🇳🇵 Lalitpur, Bagmati, Nepal1,568 views
Cedar Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 118 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 121 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 $200 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $80
• Signage and educational materials: $35
• Tools and protective gear: $85
Thank you so much.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Indira.
Sure. The biggest one is waste removal and skip hire, $80. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
thinking of you, Indira. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 12 people at work. Greetings from Tlaquepaque
Rooting for you, Indira. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Juazeiro do Norte!
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 10 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Wishing you peace, Indira. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
