For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 23 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Lotus health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $300. It will serve about 334 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $300 goes: • Materials: $190 • Permits and inspections: $40 • Safety equipment and signage: $70 Glad we found this place. - Ssebuliba

        You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

          Rooting for you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless

            Thanks for sharing this, Ssebuliba. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer.

              Good luck, Ssebuliba. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Santos donated after I showed her your page.
