This project aims to conserve mangrove plantations and reverse the decline of mangrove habitats, which have rapidly decreased in recent years. Achieving this requires both educating younger generations and the ongoing physical work of planting new mangroves.

As a volunteer, your role is vital in strengthening our natural coastal defenses, which help to slow storm surges, reduce beach erosion, and keep the beaches clean. You'll also play a key role in promoting environmental conservation through educational sessions with children.

Unfortunately, improper waste disposal has become common in the Philippines, with people accustomed to littering. In response, we are collecting Eco-bricks from local villagers and producing them as part of our waste management efforts.

For the tree-planting area of the program, we’ve chosen Moringa seeds due to their many benefits, local availability, and ease of growth in the area. Moringa, also known as the “miracle tree” or horseradish tree, is a highly nutritious superfood. The pods, leaves, seeds, and roots are all edible and are often used by local villagers as home remedies for various health issues. Moringa is also a staple in local cuisine, pairing well with fish or meat dishes.

This program is ideal for you if you have a good level of physical fitness, enthusiasm, and a passion for environmental conservation and community development.
