Plant 4,600 native trees around Sycamore Creek in Arusha
A neighborhood-led restoration of Sycamore Creek needs $150 for saplings and equipment.
🇹🇿 Tanzania813 views
Sycamore Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This December, 116 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 92 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 $150 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $50
• Signage and educational materials: $15
• Tools and protective gear: $85

So sorry you're going through this, Atim. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
rooting for you, Atim. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
this could happen to any of us. After 13 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Praying for you, Atim. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Faisalabad.
wishing you the best, Atim. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
