Restoring Cedar Creek: a volunteer-led project in Kathmandu
A neighborhood-led restoration of Cedar Creek needs $250 for saplings and equipment.

Cedar Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 49 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 169 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 $250 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $15
• Waste removal and skip hire: $100
• Native saplings and stakes: $135
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family, Renu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
hope things get better soon, Renu. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
You're not alone, Renu. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Nagpur donated after I showed her your page. Take care
