Find your Cause

Explore is designed for people who just enjoy exploring and want an eye-opening experience into various social causes. We have two segments: Singapore and ASEAN. Each segment has been meticulously planned to impact both you and the beneficiaries of the social organisations we work with.

Through this programme, we aim to build up young adults who will go on to become unstoppable confident changemakers, creating an impact throughout ASEAN, reaping substantial financial benefits in the long run as well.

Past Explore Trips

Local: Food Waste

"One thing that stood out to me when the Food Rescue Leader was sharing about the vegetables was the dare-to-try attitude that most of the Food Rescuers had. Despite the fact that they had never encountered some of the vegetables collected and the fact that these were vegetables that others no longer wanted, most of them were still willing to bring them home and experiment cooking them to see what was the best way to prepare. After which, they would then share with the group what they learn. I think it is this attitude that makes Food Rescue so inspirational, the willingness to take fruits and vegetables that others may not want and find ways to make effective use of them. It is exactly this type of attitude that we Singaporeans need to adopt if we hope to significantly reduce the food waste in our nation."

"From this learning trip, I understand that not all ugly vegetables are inedible. We cannot judge the book by its cover. We should take some time to relook at these unwanted vegetables and we might discover beauty in it. I believe that if we are able to raise awareness that unwanted vegetable deserves a second look, we would be able to reduce food wastage. One thing that left a deep impression in my heart is how this community comes together to do their part, even it might be insignificant, to reduce food wastage. It is better to start somewhere than not starting it out at all.
I would recommend my friends to sign up to find out more food wastage situation in Singapore and discover the measures that one could do to reduce food wastage as an individual."

"I joined this event because I realised that this was a good platform for me to start making minor environmental changes to the community. It was impactful as we managed to rescue over 15 boxes of fruits & vegetables that were supposedly going to be thrown away. This gives me a sense of achievement because we did what we can to reduce food wastage. And I guess this session got me into thinking about food wastage in fruits & vegetables stall and how the culture of picking only nice looking fruits and vegetables needs to be changed and educated.

I would recommend this to my friends because I would want them to experience what I had experienced instead of me telling them about this experience. Doing it is always better than saying it!"
