Let's build a rainwater harvesting system together in Kharkiv
A community-led a rainwater harvesting system at the Acacia vacant lot that will serve 488 neighbors.

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $400.
It will serve about 488 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $400 goes:
• Materials: $210
• Permits and inspections: $35
• Safety equipment and signage: $70
• Tools hire and delivery: $85
Glad we found this place.
