The Jacaranda health centre yard needs a solar-powered water pump - Rodrigo's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a solar-powered water pump - we need $3,950 for materials.

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 23 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Jacaranda health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $3,950.
It will serve about 561 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.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $3,950 goes:
• Materials: $3,200
• Permits and inspections: $290
• Safety equipment and signage: $230
• Tools hire and delivery: $230
I hope life is good to you.
