Restoring the Unity hillside: a volunteer-led project in Accra
Help us clean and replant the Unity hillside before the July planting window closes.
🇬🇭 Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana705 views
The Unity hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 54 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 64 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 $350 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $210
• Tools and protective gear: $65
• Waste removal and skip hire: $45
• Signage and educational materials: $30
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Eunice
Wanted to say thank you properly. 77% funded and the plan for waste removal and skip hire is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($102 in total) I met with the nursery and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Wishing you peace, Eunice. Your post was clear and honest. I hope July is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Great idea, hope you get there. Love from Kumasi
hope things get better soon, Eunice. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Accra.
