Restoring the Lotus hillside: a volunteer-led project in Jakarta
Volunteers are restoring the Lotus hillside in Jakarta; $450 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia963 views
The Lotus hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 83 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 69 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $220
• Tools and protective gear: $90
• Waste removal and skip hire: $125
• Signage and educational materials: $15

Stay strong, Novi. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Take care, Novi. Shared this with my family. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Novi. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Jakarta.
