Restoring the Jacaranda canal: a volunteer-led project in Peshawar

Help us clean and replant the Jacaranda canal before the March planting window closes.

The Jacaranda canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This November, 86 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 71 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, 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 $255 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $170 • Tools and protective gear: $40 • Waste removal and skip hire: $40 • Signage and educational materials: $5 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Uzma

    Best of luck, Uzma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

    • Heather K. Steele

      You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
