Restoring the Union wetland: a volunteer-led project in Faisalabad
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Union wetland needs $200 for saplings and equipment.
🇵🇰 Pakistan563 views
The Union wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This January, 34 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 59 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $200 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $45
• Native saplings and stakes: $110
• Signage and educational materials: $45
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours
Praying for you, Nimra. Hope this works out for you. Love from Mukono.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too
So sorry you're going through this, Nimra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Zaporizhzhia
Take care, Nimra. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
