The Ocean Cleanup is a non-profit organization developing and scaling technologies to rid the oceans of plastic. To achieve this objective, they use a dual strategy: intercepting plastic in rivers to cut the inflow of pollution, and cleaning up what has already accumulated in the ocean and won’t go away by itself. They aim to clean up 90% of floating ocean plastic pollution.

Cool Earth works with Indigenous people and local communities to protect rainforest and fight the climate crisis. The remote village of Parijaro has an altitude of over 1,400 meters and there is no road or river access. The network of villages includes semi-contacted communities, who are incredible rainforest protectors and fiercely fought The Shining Path terrorist group in the 1990s to reclaim their territory.

In February 2024, the remote rainforest community of Parijaro were in the middle of a health crisis caused by a fast-spreading virus. It was the rainy season and the very remote location meant reaching the nearest medical centre typically takes two days. This isolated group of villages has no immunity and many, particularly children, were suffering from pneumonia. We helped to raise £10,000 (50,000 PEN) to purchase essential medication, oxygen, and hygiene equipment. This helped control the spread of the virus and ensured the villages had the supplies needed to stay healthy.
