Nakuru

The Cedar canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 104 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 163 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. We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted. Where the $500 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $280 • Tools and protective gear: $70 • Waste removal and skip hire: $125 • Signage and educational materials: $25 I hope life is good to you. - Kamau

Good news. Because of your gifts ($323 in total) I made the first payment toward waste removal and skip hire. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Sending strength, Kamau. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.

hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
