Pioneer Park needs a rainwater harvesting system - Eunice's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a rainwater harvesting system - we need $400 for materials.
🇹🇿 Tanzania1,017 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Pioneer Park, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $400.
It will serve about 370 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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:
• Tools hire and delivery: $55
• Safety equipment and signage: $55
• Materials: $290
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 13 people at work. Love from Bahir Dar.
good luck. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Arlington so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Hang in there, Eunice. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Rawalpindi
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Kikuyu
Sending love, Eunice. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. After 14 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Hope things get better soon, Eunice. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Hope it all works out, Eunice. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Mumbai.
Hope things get better soon, Eunice. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted.
Wishing you peace, Eunice. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 10 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Coyoacán.
Wishing you peace. More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Istanbul but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Sending love, Eunice. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Suwon this morning.
