What we do
All life on earth depends on a healthy ocean. But the ocean is suffering under human activity. We aim to promote ocean conservation.
We work every day to clean beaches, raise awareness and educate people.
Why are we special?
There are many groups that regularly collect trash. Mostly, these are campaigns by wealthy citizens in industrialized nations who clean up their cities. We enable clean-ups where they are most needed and least likely to take place – in poor countries in cooperation with people living in poverty. In this way, we combine environmental protection with poverty reduction.
There are plenty of other companies that collect waste in developing countries. These are mostly profit-oriented companies. We are a non-profit organization. We strive to maximize environmental protection. The fate of the association is decided by the members.
Donate now
Our education and environmental protection activities can only be carried out in the future with donations. Please check if a donation to our association based in Germany is tax deductible in your country. If so, we will be happy to issue you with a donation receipt.

🌊 70 % unseres Planeten sind mit Meeren und Ozean bedeckt. Nicht nur die zunehmende Verschmutzung der Meere durch Plastikmüll und Überfischung, setzen den Meeren zu, sondern auch Klimawandel und die Erwärmung unserer Heimat Erde, gefährden das Ökosystem der Meereswelt aufgrund Verwässerung und Übersäuerung.
➡️ Daher ist auch Klimaschutz = Meeresschutz!
💙 Setze mit uns ein Zeichen und schalte HEUTE 20.30 bis 21.30 Uhr das LICHT AUS!
🌎 “Die Earth Hour des WWF ist die größte weltweite Klima- und Umweltschutzaktion. Gerade nach einem Jahr mit verheerenden extremen Wetterereignissen, einer Energiekrise, die auf fossilen Abhängigkeiten beruht und sich stetig ändernden politischen Prioritäten ist die Earth Hour 2023 wichtig: Mit dieser Aktion fordern wir gemeinsam entschlossenere Klimaschutz-Maßnahmen. Die Klimakrise wartet nicht.” (wwf)

Wir feiern heute #weltwassertag💧🚰
Ohne Wasser kann das gesamte Ökosystem nicht lange überleben - Wasser ist ein Grundbaustein unseres Lebens und unseres Planeten🌍
Schutz und Wiederherstellung von wasserbezogenen Ökosystemen, bspw. Wälder, Flüsse und Seen ist daher längst einer der 'Sustainable Development Goals' der @unitednations
Aber #Plastikmüll erschwert die Umsetzung dieses Schutzziels.
Wusstet ihr, dass sich in unserem Leitungswasser Mikroplastik befindet? Deutsche Welle berichtet, dass laut einer Studie sich in 83% von 150 Leistungswasserproben aus Städten weltweit #Mikroplastik nachweisen ließ. 😨

Happy Faces 😊 #goodnews Denn endlich hat es mal wieder seit langem in der Reguon Limuru geregnet. Vielleicht könnt ihr euch noch an den vorherigen Post erinnern? Kenia kämpft gerade mit heftige Dürren, die schlimmsten seit 40 Jahren.
Aber mit oder ohne Regen - unser Team sammelt weiter fleißig Plastikmüll aus Flüssen, damit diese, wenn das Wasser zurückgeht, nicht ins Meer gespült werden.
Mit unseren Social Cleanup Projekten unterstützen wir finanziell auch die Menschen vor Ort.
💙 Du kannst unser Team in Kenia/Limuru auch unterstützen, schau mal in den Link zur Betterplace Fundraising Aktion, die wir in Kooperation mot @same_oceans letztes Jahr gestartet haben. (Link im Linktree)
