Evans’ Conservation Project

This is a project on Rusinga Island. Here is a start to making a coherent page about it for potential sponsors to read.

N.B: This may all seem quite complex but our system will make it simple to use. The complexity is needed for all users to be able to check everything for themselves and know that there is no fraud/deception going on. The background complexity needs to be inconspicuous but available if wanted.

Overview

It is running now and so far 200,000 seedlings have been planted. To do it properly will cost around 400 dollars per month,

General Description

• The team intend to plant another 200,000 trees, at a rate of 50,000 per year, so the porject will last for 4 years.
• This forest will alleviate the periodic droughts we experience, which cause extreme food shortages insome years. Trees reduce drought both by holding water in the landscape and by causing rain to fall. Also by providing ground cover and binding the soil with their roots, they prevent erosion. Fruit trees and herbs are included in the planting, which also help alleviate food shortages.
• How will it become self-sustaining in that time? (e.g. the machine to turn pooh into fuel, food crops etc.).

One-off Expenses

e.g. machinery, equipment and physical infrastructure for the tree nursery. Each item will become a crowdfunding campaign which will give people who don’t want to (or can’t) make a regular commitment the opportunity to still participate.

The list can be added to and then crossed off and moved to the bottom of the page when achieved (or moved to another page to minimise clutter).

List items should link to a page with more details about the item:

• A longer description
• What does it do?
• How will it benefit the project?
• Photos and/or video hsowing the item or a similar one.
• Links to where it is sold (if online) or
• Photos of it in the shop with the price. In this case links should be provided to show that the shop price is reasonable.
• Once procured, the receipt will be scanned in. The system will need to provide a facility to host and display such receipts, and to link to them from the accounts page.
• Wherever the item is listed after procurement, it should link to the accounts page where it is shown and its page should be marked as procured. Any contribution system should be removed (or disabled).
