Clean water and shade for Nakuru: restoring the Harmony riverbank
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Harmony riverbank needs $500 for saplings and equipment.
🇰🇪 Kenya1,295 views
The Harmony riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 49 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 94 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $500 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $220
• Tools and protective gear: $55
• Waste removal and skip hire: $170
• Signage and educational materials: $55
Every share and every dollar helps.

Take care, Mussa. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Nakuru.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
