For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Sycamore Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $2,300.
It will serve about 524 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in November and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Materials: $1,550
• Permits and inspections: $240
• Safety equipment and signage: $230
• Tools hire and delivery: $280

Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours.
Sending strength. Great idea, hope you get there.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Anthony.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. materials comes first ($1,550) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Gondar
Thanks for sharing this, Anthony. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. After 15 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Great idea, hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Kozhikode this morning.
