The Jacaranda canal cleanup and restoration: help our volunteer crew
Volunteers are restoring the Jacaranda canal in Naivasha; $200 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.
🇰🇪 Naivasha, Nakuru, KenyaPosted Oct 1, 20261,339 views
The Jacaranda canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 83 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 179 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $200 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $80
• Signage and educational materials: $45
• Waste removal and skip hire: $75
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
