SOUL INITIATIVES
Our mission is to preserve Raja Ampat
About Us
Soul Initiatives (Soul Scuba Foundation) is a dedicated non-profit organization committed to safeguarding the pristine marine ecosystems of Raja Ampat.
Our passionate team is actively working to spread knowledge with both locals and visitors about the importance of ocean conservation through weekly presentations at our dive centre.
Founded in 2023, we've rapidly implemented various marine conservation programs to protect critical areas like Kri Island and Mansuar Island, home to the nearby Yenbuba village. By fostering a deeper understanding of waste management, underwater ecosystems, and responsible tourism, we aim to preserve Raja Ampat's unparalleled beauty and ensure the sustainability of local livelihoods.
Your support is vital in helping us achieve these goals.

Our Mission
With your help we can make the difference
WASTE MANAGEMENT - Kri island
Tourism's resurgence has brought with it a growing concern about waste accumulation in Raja Ampat.
Soul Initiatives is actively addressing this challenge by educating local staff, homestay owners, and residents on effective waste reduction and recycling practices.
Our team is committed to leading by example.
We regularly collect ocean plastic, we sort it into their type of plastic and we try to find solutions. With our dedicated machines, we are looking into giving value to plastic waste creating new souvenirs that can be produced by the locals.
By providing comprehensive knowledge on waste management, underwater ecosystems, and responsible tourism, we aim to empower local communities to play a crucial role in preserving the island's natural beauty.
This effort not only safeguards the environment but also ensures the sustainability of local livelihoods, allowing residents to continue enjoying the abundant fish stocks that are essential to their way of life.
Ongoing programs at Soul Initiatives
Cleaner Raja Ampat
Our ambitious initiative involves creating a comprehensive recycling infrastructure. This center will encompass expansive facilities equipped with cutting-edge machinery to efficiently clean, process, and melt plastic waste collected from Raja Ampat.
Mangrove rehabilitation
Join us in this transformative journey by adopting a mangrove tree. Your contribution will directly support our mangrove rehabilitation efforts, allowing us to plant, nurture, and protect these essential components of Raja Ampat's vibrant ecosystem.
Mooring lines for Raja Ampat
Together with The SEA People, we're setting sail on a mission to plant mooring lines for dive boats, liveaboards, and private sailing vessels. These lines provide a secure and environmentally friendly method for boats to anchor without causing harm to the vibrant coral reefs below. By adopting this greener approach, we aim to preserve Raja Ampat's unparalleled marine life for generations to come.
