Some of Our Key Initiatives Have Included...

Haiti Rebuild

After the devastating 2010 earthquake we conducted many trips to Haiti to help reconstruct villages and communities and raised significant funds for our partner, Caring House Project.

Art Reef

Through our partnership with Virgin Unite and Beyond the Reef we sunk a WW2 war ship embellished with vast art works to create a thriving underwater ecosystem that stimulates the local economy and educates local kids.

Village Enterprise

Through our partnership with Village Enterprise (Community-based and African-led charity working to end extreme poverty in rural Africa) we lifted over 1,000 people out of extreme poverty.
