Accra

The Acacia hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This October, 34 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 84 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $200 goes: • Waste removal and skip hire: $70 • Signage and educational materials: $15 • Native saplings and stakes: $115 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Elizabeth

Good news. Because of your gifts ($141 in total) the plan for native saplings and stakes is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
61% there. I made the first payment toward signage and educational materials. Thank you.
Quick update: $35 raised so far (18%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
