Let's build a solar-powered water pump together in Rohini
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a solar-powered water pump - we need $450 for materials.
🇮🇳 Rohini, Delhi, India706 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Unity Park, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $450.
It will serve about 430 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $450 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $35
• Materials: $330
• Safety equipment and signage: $85
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
