Restoring Baobab Creek: a volunteer-led project in Entebbe

A neighborhood-led restoration of Baobab Creek needs $150 for saplings and equipment.

Baobab Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 93 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 90 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: • Native saplings and stakes: $85 • Signage and educational materials: $20 • Tools and protective gear: $45 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - James
