Save a paradise island from drowning in plastic

Dear Supporters,

Thank you for your generous support of our work here in Siargao. Because of you, we’ve been able to make real strides—from providing daily education for children with special needs and safe drinking water for families to creating a cleaner, greener Siargao through our Recycling Art Studio. Each of our projects, powered by your support, has created meaningful, positive change in our community.

On December 3rd, #GivingTuesday, we have a unique opportunity to make an even greater impact together. Donations made on this day through GlobalGiving will be matched, doubling the power of every gift!

This matching means that any amount you’re able to give will have twice the reach, twice the effect, and twice the possibility for positive change.

If you feel inspired to give again, here’s what your support will help us accomplish:

Continue daily tutorials for children with special needs, providing them with stability, individualized support, and a safe place to grow.

Expand our Recycling Art Studio’s reach, transforming waste into sustainable products and spreading awareness on waste reduction.

Offer safe, refillable drinking water to families who need it most, helping reduce single-use plastic and ensuring access to clean water.

Your continued support would be the most valuable holiday gift for our kids, mothers, and environment here in Siargao. If you would like to join us on December 3rd, please visit any of our project pages to make your matched donation:

•Recycling Art Studio

•Empowering Mothers

•Education for Children with Special Needs

•Literacy Support for Kids

•Free Drinking Water for Families

•Safe Water Restoration

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps us reach more families, protect our natural resources, and empower our community to build a brighter future.

Thank you for being part of our journey. With you by our side, we’re making Siargao a safer, stronger, and more sustainable place for everyone.

Warmest holiday wishes,

Sanne

Dear Supporters,

We are thrilled to share some exciting news from the Recycling Art Studio!

Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve officially launched our very first product: an eco-friendly keychain made entirely from upcycled plastic bottle caps. Each keychain is crafted with around 12 bottle caps, and the color of the caps determines the unique look of every piece.

We’ve set an ambitious goal for the month of August: upcycling 3,000 bottle caps into these vibrant keychains! This achievement is just the beginning of our mission to turn waste into beautiful and sustainable products that help protect our environment and reduce the impact of plastic on our island.

What’s Next?

We’re now looking ahead to even bigger projects, and we need your help to get there! Our vision is to expand beyond keychains and start producing larger items like chairs and tables made from upcycled plastic. To make this possible, we need to invest in additional molds, including those that can create plastic lumber—a key material for crafting furniture.

With your continued support, we can turn this vision into reality. Your donations will help us purchase the necessary tools and materials to upcycle even more waste and create advanced products that benefit both our community and the planet.

Together, we can build a greener, more sustainable future, one recycled item at a time.

Thank you for being an essential part of our journey!

Warm regards,
