Support Sungai Watch: Protect Bali’s Rivers from Plastic Pollution

Sungai Watch is on a mission to protect and restore the world’s rivers, starting in Indonesia. Founded by the Make A Change World team, Sungai Watch focuses on stopping plastic pollution at its source before it reaches the ocean. The organization designs and installs trash barriers in rivers organizes community cleanups, and collaborates with local communities and governments to improve waste management practices.

Transparency and Accountability

Sungai Watch is committed to transparency in its operations. The organization regularly publishes detailed reports on its activities, impact, and financials to ensure donors and supporters can see how their contributions are being used. By maintaining high accountability, Sungai Watch builds trust with its community and stakeholders, encouraging continued support and engagement.

Cleanups and Trash Barriers

Sungai Watch believes that trash barriers are the quickest and most cost-effective way to stop plastic pollution. By placing these barriers in rivers, trash is prevented from flowing into the ocean. The barriers are complemented by regular cleanups along riverbanks and illegal dumpsites, ensuring that trash is collected and managed properly.

Emergency cleanups are also a crucial part of Sungai Watch’s efforts. These cleanups target illegal dumps and riverbanks where plastic waste is accumulating rapidly. By acting swiftly, Sungai Watch prevents large amounts of plastic from entering the waterways and causing further environmental damage.

Mapping and Data Collection

Sungai Watch collects extensive data on rivers and trash sites to understand and address the sources of plastic pollution. This information helps them track pollution trends, identify hotspots, and develop effective waste management strategies. Mapping their work also allows them to measure progress and demonstrate the impact of their interventions.

Community Engagement and Education

Community involvement is at the heart of Sungai Watch’s mission. The organization works closely with local communities to raise awareness about plastic pollution and its environmental impact. Educational programs and workshops are conducted to teach residents about proper waste management and the importance of keeping rivers clean.
