Pioneer Primary School needs a rainwater harvesting system - Mansi's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a rainwater harvesting system - we need $300 for materials.

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 Pioneer Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $300.
It will serve about 498 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $300 goes:
• Materials: $180
• Permits and inspections: $20
• Safety equipment and signage: $55
• Tools hire and delivery: $45
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($245 in total) the plan for safety equipment and signage is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
