Restoring the Harmony riverbank: a volunteer-led project in Dhaka
Volunteers are restoring the Harmony riverbank in Dhaka; $300 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh932 views
The Harmony riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This June, 77 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 42 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:
• Native saplings and stakes: $160
• Waste removal and skip hire: $95
• Signage and educational materials: $45
Thank you so much.
Updates from Tuhin
Good news. Because of your gifts ($30 in total) I made the first payment toward waste removal and skip hire. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $20 so far, the plan for waste removal and skip hire is now scheduled.
