Our Work – What We Do – Our Local Impact

Our primary involvement with, and impact upon, the local environment and its communities result from our ability to engage with a broad cross section of individuals, groups and Alliance Members in the Thai Gulf and Southern Thai Provinces, and to mobilize diverse resources to underpin our key initiatives and projects. We are a strong supporter of the concept of Community Philanthropy and also the United Nations 17 SDG’s.

Currently our focus and live work programs lie within 4 main areas and, additionally, our contract services offer 2 options to local businesses and residents:

We support local initiatives towards beneficial environmental impacts, we raise awareness of local, national and global environmental issues and take positive action to improve the Gulf environment.

Our Education Activities are directed towards both the state schools of the islands and informal schools.
We run Adult Workshops and Seminars to provide environmental advice and training to community groups, moo baan, government departments and businesses.
