The Acacia riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This November, 49 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 127 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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 $450 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $70
• Waste removal and skip hire: $125
• Native saplings and stakes: $255

Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Johannesburg this morning. Love from Johannesburg.
Thinking of you and your family, Sofía. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Rohini.
Take care, Sofía. I hope things turn around soon
You're not alone. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of San Nicolás de los Garza.
