The mission of Coral Catch
Did you know that many women were barred from participating in official ocean research for centuries and could, for example, not study marine science?
While gender representation has improved, we still have work to do. Our mission is to empower 100 Indonesian women to pursue marine conservation careers with coral restoration scholarships and teach another 100 women to swim. Curious how it started? Read about the Dutch girl who created a community of local women protecting Indonesia's reefs.
Coral Carch protects and restores the coral reefs of Indonesia
This is an important job as coral reefs are home to 25% of all marine species and are vital to more than 500 million people worldwide. Without coral reefs, there would be 50-80% less oxygen for us to breathe, and 200 million people would lose their protection from storms, hurricanes and tsunamis.
We reduce gender inequality in the marine conservation field
The Sustainable Development Agenda of the United Nations set a 2030 deadline for the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. Now, with under ten years left to meet it, the world is not on track. Without a heightened commitment from the global community, gender equality will remain nothing more than an unrealized goal. The time to act and invest in women is now!
We encourage and empower women to have a career in marine conservation
Empowering women and promoting gender equality is crucial to accelerating sustainable development. To truly learn to live in harmony with our environment, women need to be as much a part of shaping our collective destiny as men. For us, female empowerment is not about excluding men but about raising the voices of women.
We inspire others to become ocean advocates and eco warriors
Our Coral Catch superwomen are called superwomen for a reason; they are multitalented and hard workers. From bending the steel to create new reef structures to welding them together, from making plugs for our coral nursery to loading the boat with tanks and equipment. From encouraging the community to join their weekly beach clean-ups to teaching the local children about the gift of conservation. From organizing workshops for the local community to teaching women how to swim. We believe that being a role model is the most powerful of educating.

The foundation of Mālama
At Mālama, we strive for a world where people and nature live in harmony once again. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy for anyone to feel lost occasionally. We know what it's like to lose touch with ourselves and forget the importance of our connection with nature.
That's where Mālama comes in. We inspire you to reconnect with yourself and nature while protecting wildlife with the help of our partner organizations. Our mission is not just about personal growth but also about giving back to nature.
We are one. We are nature. We are Mālama.
