After extensive engagements with community members and careful reflection on the sentiments shared, we have aligned our budget plans to ensure transparency, practicality, and stronger community ownership. The revised plan caps each milestone at $1,800, allowing us to deliver meaningful impact while respecting the concerns raised.
