In October 2018, our HER Planet Earth all-female team will sail across the islands of Palawan in the Philippines on a  traditional Paraw sailboat raising awareness and funds for women empowerment and environmental conservation. The expedition will be in support of the Tao Kalahi Foundation, which includes projects for the advancement of women, children's education, organic farming and local traditional crafts for this region of Palawan.
  

The Sailing Paraw Expedition is set on a stunning 74-foot sailboat, the largest Paraw in the Philippines, which is a revival of an almost forgotten Filipino maritime culture dating back more than 1000 years. Meandering through the beautiful Linapacan island group from Coron to El Nido, the expedition will combine stretches of pure sailing with time for exploration of the islands, reefs, and villages along the way. The team will camp on the shores of raw untouched islands, explore fishing villages, discover hidden jungle routes and visit the various project of the Tao Kalahi Foundation.

Tao Kalahi Foundation supports​ women's livelihood projects, children's education, organic farming  (as a longterm solution to overfishing) and local traditional crafts in the Palawan region of the Philippines.
