Our Work
Our work is built around people, education and action.
Six ways we work with the lake's communities.
Each programme is run with families, village leaders, local authorities and partners. Some are ours; some are shared with partner organisations, and we say so on each page.

Learn moreOur work follows the water.
When the water rises in the wet season, plastic ends up in the flooded trees. When it falls, plastic is left on the ground. Since December 2018, with Ocean Recovery Alliance and other partners, clean-ups and awareness events have been planned around these two moments.
Every June, the Inland Ocean Festival brings communities together around the lake.
