Description
Sungai Watch is a local NGO with a mission to restore & protect every river in Indonesia starting from Bali by developing and designing simple technologies to stop the flow of plastic pollution from going into the ocean. You will be joining as a volunteer to clean up a river at a time and learn how they develop and design simple technologies to carry out the mission. All the proceeds are going to be given to Sungai Watch as a sponsor for them to build more river barriers.
Who This Experience Is Good For
Everyone and anyone who wants to give back to the local community
Difficulty Level
Easy, the rivers in Bali are not one with strong currents so you will not get carried away by the water.
Meet Our Local Host
Sungai Watch is a registered charity, both as Yayasan (foundation) in Indonesia and a 501(c)3 in the United States. The organization was founded in 2020 by Gary, Kelly and Sam Bencheghib in Bali. It is now a team of 55 passionate river warriors, working every day to stop the flow of plastic pollution from going into the ocean. By designing simple trash barriers and operating a collection, sorting and up-cycling system, they have created a scalable approach to tackling plastic pollution. They are on a mission to install 1,000 barriers by 2023.

We’ll control the weather. Just kidding! Remote Year can’t control the weather or many other factors that go into planning events. In the event of a change due to weather, the City Manager will do their best to provide a make-up option.
