Restoring the Liberty hillside: a volunteer-led project in Aurangabad
Volunteers are restoring the Liberty hillside in Aurangabad; $400 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.

The Liberty hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 97 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 133 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 $400 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $55
• Waste removal and skip hire: $50
• Native saplings and stakes: $295
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

sending strength, Yamini. Hope this works out for you. Love from Kasarani.
Thinking of you and your family, Yamini. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Hang in there. Great idea, hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings!
So sorry you're going through this, Yamini. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Luxor but we're thinking of you.
You're not alone, Yamini. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Aurangabad.
Praying for you, Yamini. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
wishing you the best, Yamini. Your post was clear and honest.
Sending love, Yamini. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
