A neighborhood-led restoration of the Baobab hillside needs $1,250 for saplings and equipment.

The Baobab hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 114 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 189 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 $1,250 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $880
• Waste removal and skip hire: $200
• Signage and educational materials: $170
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this, Fadi. Looking forward to the next update.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Fadi.
Sure. The biggest one is native saplings and stakes, $880. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
Best of luck, Fadi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Taguig this morning. God bless
