The past few years I've battled birthday blues, but I'm actually excited this year because I'm dedicating this birthday to a special collection of organizations I visited and got to know. I'm deeply grateful to have crossed paths with such passionate, inspiring individuals working to solve problems in their local communities. As a token of appreciation, anybody who gives will receive a thank you postcard (pictured) that is a print of a photograph I took while visiting organizations in Indonesia.

Generate Income & Hope From Non-Recyclable Garbage

Project of the Month Club ,

Sustainable Development Goal #1 - No Poverty

This project has stopped 10 tons of non-recyclable plastic waste from reaching Jakarta's garbage dumps by partnering with trash pickers who collect and sell it to XSProject . This gives trash pickers extra income. Post consumer trash is then "upcycled" into new products and sold. It will pay salaries for XSProject's washers and sewers who make the products we sell. It will provide clean drinking water, health checkups, medical attention, vocational training and micro-finance opportunities. progress report

Tripadvisor Sustainable Development Goal #8 - Good Jobs and Economic Growth

A World Bank study found that close to 60 percent of Indonesian youth are unemployed; this is the case in Yayasan Usaha Mulia's project area of Cipanas, West Java. That is why a Vocational Training Center (VTC) was established in order for youths to learn skills that would increase their chances of gaining employment. So far, 75 percent of our alumni have found jobs. Help us keep the VTC going and help more than 300 disadvantaged youths per year find employment. progress report

Orangutan Rescue: On the frontline in Sumatra

project picture

Indonesia,

Animals ,

Project of the Month Club

Sumatran orangutans are Critically Endangered, with only around 14,600 left in the wild. The greatest threat to their survival is the loss of their rain forest home - forest destruction for farmlands in Sumatra is happening on a massive scale. As a result, orangutans often become stranded in patches of forest surrounded by plantations. They are at risk of starvation, hunting and poaching. We rescue orangutans and work with farmers to help them protect their crops without harming wildlife. progress report

Through an intensive 100 days program built around organic farming, 45 youth will be provided with knowledge and skills that may enable economic self-sufficiency. This program also includes training in basic life skills such as leadership, marketing, English language, computer literacy, etc. progress report
