Plant 3,200 native trees around the Unity riverbank in Arusha
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Unity riverbank needs $250 for saplings and equipment.
🇹🇿 Tanzania730 views
The Unity riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 91 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 83 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 $250 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $175
• Waste removal and skip hire: $30
• Tools and protective gear: $45

The list at the bottom is the whole picture. native saplings and stakes is the biggest at $175. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thinking of you, Samuel. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Arusha. I'll ask around and let you know
