In November 2018, our HER Planet Earth all-female team sailed 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 was 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 was 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 combined stretches of pure sailing with time for exploration of the islands, reefs, and villages along the way. The team camped on the shores of raw untouched islands, explored fishing villages, discovered hidden jungle routes and visited 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.

HER Planet Earth is a global women’s advocacy movement that promotes a deeper connection
