Restoring Jacaranda Creek: a volunteer-led project in Jinja
Help us clean and replant Jacaranda Creek before the June planting window closes.

Jacaranda Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 109 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 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $300 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $35
• Waste removal and skip hire: $75
• Native saplings and stakes: $190
Glad we found this place.

Take care, Ssebuliba. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
So sorry you're going through this, Ssebuliba. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
