The Union canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This October, 75 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 65 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: $110
• Native saplings and stakes: $80
• Signage and educational materials: $10
Glad we found this place.

Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Benin City but we're thinking of you. God bless
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nida.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. waste removal and skip hire comes first ($110) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Mysuru so I could bring a meal.
Sending love. More neighborhoods should do this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
