Plant 4,850 native trees around the Jacaranda canal in Kinondoni
Volunteers are restoring the Jacaranda canal in Kinondoni; $250 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇹🇿 Kinondoni, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania889 views
The Jacaranda canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 72 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 59 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $250 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $100
• Tools and protective gear: $25
• Waste removal and skip hire: $115
• Signage and educational materials: $10
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
