Story
Updates (4)

In a focused effort to rejuvenate our village's lake, we the people of Singalandapuram, Rasipuram are joining hands and breaking grounds.

Like minded enthusiastic people are taking step-by-step approach to find a permanent solution to the water and sewage problems that were ignored for decades.

Your donation helps them keep motivated and set an example for other villages in this area, which is located in the foothills of Kollimalai. We appreciate your generosity!

The initial task is to remove the Prosopis juliflora plants which are abundant in the water storage area. The next task is to plant trees in a small, controllable and expandable area. The idea is to start small and expand them organically. The next step is to lay a walking trail along the planted trees so that the area is maintained clean.

Proposed budget:

Removing waste and juliflora - Rs. 30,000
Digging - Rs. 1,00,000
Buying new plants - Rs. 10,000
Maintenance - Rs. 10,000
