Restoring the Unity hillside: a volunteer-led project in Ogbomosho
Volunteers are restoring the Unity hillside in Ogbomosho; $450 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.

The Unity hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 119 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 183 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 $450 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $250
• Tools and protective gear: $100
• Waste removal and skip hire: $35
• Signage and educational materials: $65
Thank you for reading my story.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Chinedu.
Sure. The biggest one is native saplings and stakes, $250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
Keep going, Chinedu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best!
