Let's build a rainwater harvesting system together in Gothenburg
Volunteers in Gothenburg are raising $3,450 for a rainwater harvesting system at the Harmony vacant lot.
🇸🇪 Sweden3,060 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $3,450.
It will serve about 584 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in January 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $3,450 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $350
• Materials: $2,600
• Tools hire and delivery: $500
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 24 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sofia.
Safety equipment and signage is $350 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
