Clean water and shade for Nairobi: restoring Jacaranda Beach
A neighborhood-led restoration of Jacaranda Beach needs $500 for saplings and equipment.

Jacaranda Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 45 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 159 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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:
• Native saplings and stakes: $330
• Tools and protective gear: $70
• Waste removal and skip hire: $70
• Signage and educational materials: $30
If you're reading this, thank you.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($195 in total) I made the first payment toward native saplings and stakes. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
