Restoring the Baobab riverbank: a volunteer-led project in Lahore

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

The Baobab riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 67 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. We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted. Where the $250 goes: • Tools and protective gear: $75 • Signage and educational materials: $35 • Native saplings and stakes: $140 Every share and every dollar helps. - Hamza

          this could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Port Harcourt so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
