Nagpur

The Union riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 42 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 156 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 $400 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $250 • Tools and protective gear: $50 • Waste removal and skip hire: $75 • Signage and educational materials: $25 I hope life is good to you. - Sangeetha

We're at 35% thanks to 7 of you. the plan for waste removal and skip hire is now scheduled. More news soon.
Update from Nagpur: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 24% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($91 in total) I met with the nursery and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
