Extreme sportsman Thaddeus Lawrence also shared his experiences from the journey. The event raised nearly $50,000 SGD for UN Women Vietnam, supporting rural women’s economic empowerment and resilience to climate change in one of the countries most affected by environmental degradation.
Paddle for the Planet
Paddle for the Planet is a global movement that unites paddlers worldwide in support of marine conservation through the Global Paddling Rally. This event features a coordinated relay, with simultaneous paddling events starting on the same day and time across different time zones, creating a continuous global effort. The initiative raises awareness and funds for marine conservation, specifically targeting “Marine Protected Areas” and “no-take zones” to preserve marine biodiversity and sustain our oceans.

The event raised over 17,000 SGD, adding to the 15,000 SGD previously raised by HER Planet Earth’s Antarctic expedition team, who chose Antarctica to highlight the urgent environmental challenges facing our planet.
Into Africa
In September 2019, the Africa Society of Singapore and HER Planet Earth teamed up to raise over S$130,000 for wildlife conservation and female empowerment in North Kenya. Funds were raised through a 200-person charity ball at the Grand Hyatt Singapore and an upcoming all-female expedition to trek 100km across Northern Kenya's Karisia Hills in October.
The expedition, guided by local experts, will navigate challenging terrain and varied altitudes. All proceeds will support Conservation International's projects in North Kenya, including the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, eco-tourism expansion, and a mobile anti-poaching team.
