Why We Support Impact Heroes?

We believe in people who act driven from within, those who lead not for recognition, but from a deep love for their communities and the planet.

Impact Heroes embody this kind of leadership. They are social entrepreneurs, educators, activists, environmental defenders, and grassroots organizers who live their values every day.

Earth Company’s role is to stand beside them, helping their impact grow stronger and their reach go further. Through a blend of leadership coaching, management consulting, business development, marketing support, and fundraising support, we work hand in hand with changemakers to help them realize their vision.

Over the years of supporting our Impact Heroes, we have raised more than US$1 million, supported 35 projects in 11 countries, and reached more than 6 million people.

But numbers only tell part of the story. The real story is how these changemakers transform challenges into hope.

Stories of Impact: Projects that are Changing Lives

1. Expanding Access to Safe Births Across the Region

Through our joint fundraising support, we helped our Impact Hero 2016, Robin Lim, and her team at Bumi Sehat build maternal and child health clinics in Indonesia (Bali and Papua), and the Philippines.

Here, mothers now have access to safe births, healthcare, and education—services that were once unreachable. Every new mother who feels safe, every child born into care and dignity, is a quiet reminder that regeneration starts with compassion in action.

2. Marshall Islands — Nurturing Climate Resilience for the Next Generation

In the Marshall Islands, Impact Hero 2017, Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner and her organization Jo-Jikum created the country’s first Youth Center—a place where young islanders can learn, lead, and take action against climate change.

Today, it serves as a home for community dialogue, cultural preservation, and youth empowerment. In a place where rising seas threaten entire ways of life, the center stands as a testament to courage and hope.

3. Cambodia — Turning Soap into a Lifeline

For our Impact Hero 2022, Samir Lakhani and his organization Eco-Soap Bank, one simple idea grew into a movement.

With Earth Company’s support, his team scaled up the Soap for Refugees initiative—recycling discarded hotel soaps into millions of new bars for refugee families. In the process, they’ve created jobs for local women, improved hygiene for vulnerable communities, and turned waste into wellbeing.

It’s proof that even something as small as a bar of soap can change lives when compassion meets innovation.

4. Mongolia — Building the Country’s First Toilet Education Center

In Ulaanbaatar’s ger district, Oyungerel Tsedevdamba (Impact Hero 2023) and her team are building Mongolia’s first Toilet Education Center.

Through Earth Company’s joint fundraising campaign, they’ve begun turning an urgent need into a pioneering model for sanitation and education. Once completed, the center will offer safe toilets and learning spaces for thousands of families and children.

More than a facility, it represents a shift—breaking taboos, restoring dignity, and protecting both people and the environment.

Walking Together Toward Regenerative Futures

These projects remind us that real change rarely happens overnight. It takes patience, partnership, and deep trust.

At Earth Company, we see our role not as rescuers, but as companions — walking alongside changemakers who are already leading the way. Together, we’re proving that regeneration is not an ideal, but a practice. It begins when we choose to invest in people who choose hope.

• They are paradigm shifters, challenging the status quo.
• They are role models, inspiring the next generation.
• They are visionaries, building hope and action.

They are not only working toward regenerative futures—they are already living it, and inviting their communities to join them
