The Baobab riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 46 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 41 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 $150 goes: • Tools and protective gear: $75 • Signage and educational materials: $40 • Waste removal and skip hire: $35 Every share and every dollar helps. - Hina
