Clean water and shade for Port Harcourt: restoring the Harmony canal

A neighborhood-led restoration of the Harmony canal needs $255 for saplings and equipment.

Port Harcourt
The Harmony canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 116 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 170 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 $255 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $165 • Tools and protective gear: $45 • Waste removal and skip hire: $40 • Signage and educational materials: $5 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

          This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Port Harcourt.
