Dear Supporters,
South Africa is a beautiful country, but it is also facing a serious problem of plastic and waste pollution. Everywhere I go, I see trash on the streets and on the beaches, threatening the environment and the wildlife.
The solution is simple: education. The children are the future, and they need to learn about the importance of keeping the ocean clean and healthy. That’s why we partner with the local aquarium to bring the ocean alive for them. We send experts to schools to teach them about the marine life and the human impact on it. We also take them to the aquarium to see the wonders of the ocean for themselves.
In 2022, we reached over 300 schools and brought 24 of them to the aquarium. The results were amazing. The children became more aware and responsible. They started recycling and spreading the word. Some of them even dreamed of becoming marine conservationists. But we need your help to continue this project in 2023 and beyond.
Together, we can make a difference, but we need your support and donations. Please join us in this mission to bring the ocean alive for the children of South Africa.
We appreciate your support!
