Last year, we introduced some of the girls from the Bata ng Calabnugan orphanage to marine conservation and helped them develop their in-water skills through our Reef Rangers project.
This year, we’re taking it even further. We’re supporting six girls from the orphanage on their journey to becoming certified divers and future ocean protectors. Through hands-on training, mentorship, and direct exposure to marine ecosystems, these girls will gain diving certifications and the skills needed to launch a career in marine conservation.
To make this happen, we need your help. We’re raising 5,000 USD to cover the costs of PADI Open Water, Advanced Open Water, and Rescue Diver certifications, including training materials and fees. All training staff and other related costs will be covered by us.
Expense breakdown:
– Open Water certification for one girl: ~$200 USD
– Full certification path (Open Water, Advanced Open Water, EFR + Rescue Diver) for one girl: $700 USD
