Thanks to your help,
we have successfully raised a total of US$143,692 in support of our Impact Hero 2017, Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner
We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to your help, we have successfully raised a total of US$143,692 in support of our Impact Hero 2017, Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner and her Marshallese environmental nonprofit NGO Jo-Jikum.
Thank you to everyone who made a donation or supported in some other way!
Earth Company raised a total of $143,692 for Jo-Jikum by August 2017
to upgrade both its ‘hardware’ and ‘software’.
Construction Costs of Youth Climate Leaders Lab: US$100,000
Jo-Jikum has no physical home. The Youth Climate Leaders Lab would become the hub of their activities, the epicenter of their rippling work.
Nonprofit Coaching: US$15,000
At the request of Jo-Jikum, Earth Company will provide nonprofit management coaching. The advisory service would build on Kathy’s leadership strengths and equip her with essential management skills.
Opportunity Building: US$28,000
As a start-up trying to solidify its operations and finance, building a credible reputation and expanding support base are critical. To this end, Earth Company will raise Jo-Jikum’s media profile and build strategic partnerships.
We ask that you include your name and phone number as a reference when making the transfer so that we can identify your payment. Please also send us a quick email (or give us a call) detailing your donation amount and name so that we can follow up and confirm your donation.

Transforming the Marshallese youth
from climate change victims to shapers of tomorrow
Led by Kathy, the nonprofit Jo-Jikum trains and empowers Marshallese youth with an aim to save their sinking country from sea-level rise. Jo-Jikum achieves this through three pillars:
1) amplify the voices of youth in international dialogues;
2) explore local adaptation strategies;
3) regenerate their unique culture in the worst case involving forced migration.

Bella Galhos
Advisor to the President of Timor-Leste
Founder of Leublora Green School
Timor-Leste
Funds Raised so far: $104,300
Finally liberated in 2002, Timor-Leste’s people and land have been decimated by decades of occupation and war. Bella established this school in order to nurture the country’s ‘Green Leaders’ of tomorrow. Thanks to your donations, the school opened its doors in May 2015, but it still requires additional donations in order to build on its basic facilities and provide teaching materials.
Earth Company seeks “Impact Boosters”
who want to directly and continuously help our Impact Heroes
by becoming monthly supporters.
Thanks to the generous donations towards our Impact Hero 2015
Bella Galhos and Impact Hero 2016 Robin Lim, we were able to fulfill their dreams
to build a new school and clinic, respectively.
However, their real work begins now.
We invite everyone, including those who have given single donations
in the past and who are considering donating for the first time,
to become Impact Amplifiers from any amount starting from $10 a month.
Once Earth Company’s intensive support to Impact Heroes end,
they are on their own to continue their ambitious, challenging journeys.
Becoming an Impact Amplifier would enable you to join their journeys,
including the ups and downs, to serve the vulnerable and marginalized
and to make this world a bit better than the one we inherited.

in a one-time contribution to past Impact Heroes.
