A community-led a youth football pitch at Jacaranda Primary School that will serve 401 neighbors.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Jacaranda Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $4,100.
It will serve about 401 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in June and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $4,100 goes:
• Materials: $3,400
• Permits and inspections: $380
• Safety equipment and signage: $145
• Tools hire and delivery: $175
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

You're not alone, Todd. Shared this with my family. Love from Zaria
Thinking of you, Todd. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Todd.
Materials is $3,400 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
Wishing you peace, Todd. More neighborhoods should do this
Hope things get better soon, Todd. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Mumbai.
Sending strength, Todd. More neighborhoods should do this. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from The Hague
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Paris.
