Our Projects
Through our efforts to understand locals’ harvesting of endangered marine life, we realised that in order to protect the animals, we must offer an alternative source of sustenance and income. We are establishing several skills development projects, and building tourism in the area, to create job opportunities for local communities.
Why It Matters
Ilha do Fogo, a hidden gem off the coast of Mozambique, is not just a beautiful island; it’s a sanctuary for three endangered turtle species. These magnificent creatures call this island home, and their survival is under constant threat due to poaching and unsustainable fishing practices. But we believe in a brighter future for both the turtles and the local communities.
Our Vision
We are on a mission to protect the turtles and empower the people who reside in this area of the Zambezia Province. Our approach is simple: when we provide local communities with alternatives to poaching and unsustainable fishing, we create a win-win situation. We’re working tirelessly to establish skills development projects, aquaculture farms, tourism initiatives, and build the area’s blue economy. This will not only safeguard these precious marine animals but also improve the lives of the residents.
Turtle Monitoring
At Present, we have two teams rotating on Ilha Do Fogo. They are responsible for the maintenance of the runway and also keep the beach and reef free of plastic.

Our purpose-built solar stills can produce over 20 litres of fresh water per day, per still utilising seawater or grey water. We use these stills to ensure freshwater on Ilha do Fogo, however, funding is required to develop more solar stills for the coastal communities, providing fresh drinking water for families in the area.

Alongside our FSC-registered partners, LevasFlor, our goal for the project is to create a facility that can process responsibly harvested wood and train locals in carpentry skills. Apprentices will be identified from the communities and we will sell or export manufactured products, keeping the profits in Mozambique, to the benefit of the local population.
