Let's build a rainwater harvesting system together in Ogbomosho

A community-led a rainwater harvesting system at Union Primary School that will serve 377 neighbors.

Ogbomosho
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Union Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $210, and the remaining cost is $200. It will serve about 377 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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 $200 goes: • Materials: $110 • Permits and inspections: $40 • Safety equipment and signage: $25 • Tools hire and delivery: $25 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
