Let's build a rainwater harvesting system together in Khulna
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a rainwater harvesting system - we need $450 for materials.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Jacaranda Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $45, and the remaining cost is $450.
It will serve about 224 people, including school children and their families. 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 $450 goes:
• Materials: $340
• Permits and inspections: $15
• Safety equipment and signage: $25
• Tools hire and delivery: $70
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love, Rashed. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Makassar.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Rashed. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Mecca so I could bring a meal.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
