The Harmony health centre yard needs a rainwater harvesting system - Obiageli's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a rainwater harvesting system - we need $100 for materials.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,148 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $100.
It will serve about 193 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $100 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $40
• Safety equipment and signage: $40
• Tools hire and delivery: $20
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope it all works out, Obiageli. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Abuja.
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Thinking of Abuja.
Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out
Praying for you, Obiageli. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
