The Harmony vacant lot needs a sensory garden for children with autism - Kemi's neighborhood project
A community-led a sensory garden for children with autism at the Harmony vacant lot that will serve 378 neighbors.
🇳🇬 Abuja, Abuja FCT, Nigeria2,452 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $130, and the remaining cost is $600.
It will serve about 378 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $600 goes:
• Materials: $440
• Permits and inspections: $55
• Safety equipment and signage: $60
• Tools hire and delivery: $45
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Kemi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in São Paulo but we're thinking of you
So sorry you're going through this, Kemi. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
Stay strong, Kemi. Your post was clear and honest. After 25 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
Shared this with my family. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Abuja.
