Restoring the Lotus wetland: a volunteer-led project in Nairobi

Help us clean and replant the Lotus wetland before the September planting window closes.

The Lotus wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 119 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 40 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. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $300 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $85 • Tools and protective gear: $60 • Waste removal and skip hire: $135 • Signage and educational materials: $20 Thanks for being kind about this.
