Restoring Union Creek: a volunteer-led project in Karachi
A neighborhood-led restoration of Union Creek needs $200 for saplings and equipment.
🇵🇰 Sindh, Pakistan367 views
Union Creek has been used as an informal dump for years. This October, 65 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 128 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.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $200 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $50
• Native saplings and stakes: $75
• Tools and protective gear: $75
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you and your family, Danish. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Augusta
Hang in there, Danish. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Love from Ludhiana.
Sending strength, Danish. More neighborhoods should do this.
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Keep going, Danish. This could happen to any of us. Love from Üsküdar.
