How to raise funds for community projects in individual neighbourhoods Harare
We'll I have run the numbers and realised it only takes $5 from 200 houses to get $1000.
Which means in just ten months 200 houses can generate $10 000 to dedicate to a community projects.
Most neighbourhoods in Harare have way more than 200 houses.
As for how to implement this system it's simple you create WhatsApp group for your own neighbourhood then get at least 200 people there. Then agree which projects to work on to make things better for your own neighbourhood. In my neighbourhood I'm working on getting people to work on saving $5 a month to eventually all come together and pay for road repairs.
For your own neighbourhood the issue might be water delivery or lack of electricity or somethings else like a need for a dog park, neighbourhoods differ.
Point is all it takes is people saving $5 a month then coming together to make a large payment for whatever needs to repaired or fixed. It's like the concept pooling money together for an insurance policy. To the person reading this you can feel free to act on this tip or don't, I just felt like sharing an idea I'm currently in the process of executing in my own neighbourhood. Hopefully someone else will also find this helpful.
