Clean water and shade for Wudil: restoring the Union hillside
Volunteers are restoring the Union hillside in Wudil; $300 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇳🇬 Nigeria779 views
The Union hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 69 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 74 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $195
• Tools and protective gear: $35
• Waste removal and skip hire: $40
• Signage and educational materials: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you, Kelechi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best
