Restoring the Freedom wetland: a volunteer-led project in Lalitpur
Volunteers are restoring the Freedom wetland in Lalitpur; $200 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇳🇵 Lalitpur, Bagmati, Nepal467 views
The Freedom wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 70 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 200 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $200 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $35
• Tools and protective gear: $45
• Native saplings and stakes: $120
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Lalitpur.
Take care, Ramesh. Shared this with my family!
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Bristol so I could bring a meal.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Ramesh. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
