In 2019, I AM WATER won the prestigious Sport for Climate Action Collective Impact Award, supported by the Swedish Postcode Foundation. This award is for nonprofits using sport to address climate change, reduce emissions, and advocate for sustainable policy across the world. As one of six winners of Beyond Sports Sport for Climate Action Collective Impact Award, we’re dedicated to creating a healthy planet for future generations because the sports we love depend on a healthy planet for all.

To continue our work in creating a better planet, we have embarked on a collective campaign, under the “Sport for Climate Action Collective Impact” umbrella to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Global Goals and raise awareness about about sports being impacted by weather patterns changing, sea levels rising, and extreme weather conditions. You can find educational resources on environmental protection provided by AEG1Earth, I Am Water, Manta Sail Training Centre, Protect Our Winters (POW), World Sailing, Youth Service Organisation (YSO). Please amplify the experiences and impact of these amazing organizations and individuals who are leveraging sport for people and the planet by supporting I AM WATER to get more children in the ocean so that they can experience a safe, fun and challenging experience that makes them fall in love with the ocean so they can want to protect it. “We help children, who have feared or never experienced the ocean, to enjoy it for the first time, and to understand the importance of conservation.” Hanli Prinsloo

The Amazon rainforest holds profound ecological significance, and the IAMWATER Foundation’s upcoming expedition seeks to deepen understanding and protection of this vital region. Their work highlights the need for global awareness and hands-on conservation. Just as the Earth needs cleansing and restoration, so do our bodies. So organic essiac tea blend offers information on Essiac Tea and fulvic acid—powerful natural aids that help detoxify and revitalize your system. Supporting both environmental and personal health creates a harmonious balance between humanity and nature.
