The Foundation created Ranong Recycle for Environment in 2019 supporting the Social Enterprise. Goals include supporting disadvantaged communities and individuals, including the Moken, in the development of waste management projects, as well as educating children about plastic pollution and environmental issues.

What began as simple waste separation at school has grown into something meaningful.
Through our School Waste Bank Project, students learned responsibility and environmental awareness.
This year, three Green Team members and the top 1–3 students with the highest stamp scores joined an environmental camp at Jungle Life Camp Khao Sok.

Workshops that turn knowledge into action!
Each year, we develop new educational content ...to raise awareness among children about the dangers of plastic pollution and the importance of protecting the oceans. In 2025, we visited eight schools in southern Thailand.
What was this year's workshop theme? Endangered Marine Species in the Andaman Sea. Protection of the ocean requires knowledge and understanding of it.
A workshop day is a clever mix of learning and games. The team quiz activity is always a huge hit with the kids, so it deserves a special mention.

How do you teach around 2,000 children each year to manage waste responsibly?
Through ...Waste Banks! At each of our six partner schools, students bring their recyclables and hand them over to the "Green Team," a group of trained student volunteers who manage the banks.
Every action matters: bringing recyclables, cleaning the school, and promoting nature protection. All of these efforts are rewarded with stamps in a personal logbook. The logbook recognizes each child's commitment and motivates them to become true "Guardians of the Sea."
The collected waste is purchased from the school and enters the recycling stream.
It's a simple system that turns children into agents of change while cleaning up their environment. 🌊

Save the Ocean Day, une journée pour célébrer nos gardiens de la mer
En janvier ...dernier, une centaine d’élèves de nos écoles partenaires ont été accueillis par l’école de Koh Chang pour célébrer notre fête annuelle Save the Ocean Day.
Cette journée inoubliable a pris cette année la forme d’une compétition festive : bienvenue aux Ocean Games !
Les équipes des différentes écoles se sont affrontées au cours d’épreuves inventées par l’équipe de Ranong Recycle : courses à relais, tic-tac-toe géant, chamboule-tout, quiz sur les contenus de nos ateliers…
Le moment fort ? Un défilé de mode pas comme les autres pour lequel les enfants ont présenté des tenues créées entièrement à partir de déchets ! Leur créativité et leur engagement nous ont émerveillés !
La journée s’est terminée par la distribution de tickets d’or aux enfants bénévoles pour les banques de déchets, et à ceux qui ont collecté le plus de tampons dans leur journal de bord.
Ce ticket leur permet de se joindre aux voyages scolaires que nous organisons tous les ans.

Save the Ocean Day, a day to celebrate our Guardians of the Sea
Last January, around 100 students from our partner schools were welcomed by Koh Chang School to celebrate our annual Save the Ocean Day.
This year the celebration took the form of a festive competition: welcome to the Ocean Games!
Teams from different schools happily competed in challenges devised by the Ranong Recycle team, including relay races, giant tic-tac-toe, a knock down cans game and a quiz on the content of our workshops.
The highlight? A unique fashion show in which the children presented outfits made entirely from waste. Their creativity and dedication amazed us!
At the end of the day, golden tickets were given to children who volunteered for the waste banks and to those who collected the most stamps in their logbooks.
These tickets allow them to join the school trips we organize every year.

Bien plus qu’un programme environnemental
En visitant régulièrement nos écoles ...partenaires, notre équipe de Ranong Recycle a tissé des liens de confiance avec les équipes enseignantes. Cela nous permet d'identifier rapidement les besoins des enfants.
Accès à l'eau potable, nourriture, vêtements, produits d'hygiène, rénovation de bâtiments... Nos actions répondent aux urgences du quotidien de ces élèves.
Ces écoles insulaires et côtières reçoivent peu d'attention. Grâce à la relation de proximité créée par notre programme environnemental, nous pouvons apporter une aide précieuse quand cela est nécessaire.
Mais pour continuer, nous avons besoin de vous. Vos dons nous permettent d'assurer à ces enfants un environnement sain et propice à l'apprentissage.

Much more than an environmental program
Through regular visits to our partner schools, our Ranong Recycle team has established trusting relationships with the teaching staff. This enables us to swiftly identify the children's needs.
We provide access to drinking water, food, clothing, hygiene products, and building renovations. Our actions address the daily emergencies these children face.
These island and coastal schools receive little attention. Thanks to the close relationships established through our environmental program, we can provide valuable assistance when needed.
However, we need your help to continue. Your donations enable us to provide these children with a healthy, learning-conducive environment.

Des ateliers pour transformer la connaissance en action !
Chaque année, nous créons de ...nouveaux contenus éducatifs pour sensibiliser toujours plus d’enfants aux dangers de la pollution plastique et à la protection des océans. En 2025, nous nous sommes rendus dans 8 écoles du sud de la Thaïlande.
La thématique de cette série d’ateliers ? Les espèces marines menacées dans la mer Andaman. Parce que pour mieux protéger l’océan, il faut d’abord le connaître et le comprendre.
Une journée d’atelier, c’est un savant mélange d’apprentissage et de jeux. Mention spéciale pour l’activité de quiz en équipe, qui remporte toujours un grand succès.

Comment responsabiliser près de 2 000 enfants par an à la gestion des déchets ?
Avec ...des banques de déchets ! Dans chacune de nos 6 écoles partenaires, les élèves apportent leurs recyclables et les confient à la “Green Team”, une équipe d’enfants bénévoles formés pour gérer ces banques.
Chaque geste compte : apporter des déchets recyclables, nettoyer l’école, promouvoir la protection de la nature… Toutes ces actions sont récompensées par des tampons dans un carnet personnel. Ce journal de bord valorise l’engagement de chaque enfant, et les motive à aller plus loin pour devenir de vrais “Gardiens de la mer”.
Les déchets collectés sont ensuite achetés à l’école et intègrent le circuit du recyclage.
Un système simple qui transforme les enfants en acteur du changement, tout en nettoyant leur environnement. 🌊
