About us

Who we are

We are a group of ordinary citizens who have taken it upon ourselves to make meaningful changes in our small community.

 It all started with a simple group chat, which allowed us to communicate effectively and identify the areas that needed improvement. One of the first issues we noticed was the lack of proper lighting, especially during power outages. To address this, we purchased solar lights, ensuring that our community remains well-lit even during the darkest times.

As we continued our efforts, we realized that many government-owned lights had been out of commission for decades. We took it upon ourselves to replace these damaged lights, and word quickly spread that it was the everyday people in the community, not the government, who were taking serious action to improve our living conditions.

Our movement has since intensified, and we now maintain the things we once relied on the government to do for us. From fixing burst water pipes and maintaining the landscape to repairing roads and even building new ones and small bridges, we have taken charge of our community’s well-being. We have also designated a location for trash collection and provide support to the elderly by donating food, maintaining their yards, and ensuring they are well cared for.

Our actions have inspired other communities to follow in our footsteps, duplicating our roadmap to success.
