Restoring Harmony Creek: a volunteer-led project in Jakarta
A neighborhood-led restoration of Harmony Creek needs $350 for saplings and equipment.
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia757 views
Harmony Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 92 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 139 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $180
• Tools and protective gear: $35
• Waste removal and skip hire: $80
• Signage and educational materials: $55
Glad we found this place.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($235 in total) I met with the nursery and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
