Lotus Beach cleanup and restoration: help our volunteer crew
Volunteers are restoring Lotus Beach in Kinondoni; $300 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.

Lotus Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 63 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 134 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $150
• Tools and protective gear: $25
• Waste removal and skip hire: $105
• Signage and educational materials: $20
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Wanjiru?
Thank you. If you're in Kinondoni I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hang in there, Wanjiru. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Love from Kharkiv!
Stay strong, Wanjiru. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Wanjiru. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 18 people at work. Greetings from Badagry.

Rooting for you, Wanjiru. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Wishing you the best. Great idea, hope you get there. Blessings.
You're not alone, Wanjiru. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
thanks for sharing this, Wanjiru. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Kinondoni.
