Restoring the Unity hillside: a volunteer-led project in Rawalpindi
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Unity hillside needs $150 for saplings and equipment.

The Unity hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This February, 54 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 157 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 $150 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $35
• Native saplings and stakes: $85
• Waste removal and skip hire: $30
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hang in there. More neighborhoods should do this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Lyon
Keep going, Sadia. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Sadia. Great idea, hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
