          Highlights of the week

          Trust-Based Philanthropy

          In the face of increasingly complex and, sometimes rapidly, changing needs on the ground, it is crucial to take a step back and reconsider the status quo.

          APAC Sustainability Seed Fund 2.0

          By leveraging the success of the first round of the APAC Sustainability Seed Fund, AVPN continues to mobilise continuum of capital into supporting climate solutions in the region.

          Faith and Giving

          Faith, and the values, belief systems, moral codes, and religious doctrines, that underlie it, shape much of philanthropy across the world. From addressing needs in underserved communities to investing in sustainable energy solutions, faith-aligned givers are demonstrating that compassion can be a catalyst for a more just and equitable world. However, the fundamental drivers of faith-aligned giving often remain unexamined.

Problem

In Asia, 2.4 billion people live in urban environments with dirty, unsafe air. Yet, only a small minority of these are aware of the health impacts of air pollution. And further still, only 1% have access to clean air. As a consequence, one person dies every 10 seconds because of air pollution in Asia.

In reality, the methods of health protection from air pollution are incredibly simple. Air purifiers are simple, tried-and-tested solutions that can cost as little as $20, and bring clean air to a whole family. However, most people are unaware about this. They're either uninformed on the dangers of air pollution, or unable to afford what the air purifier market leads us to believe are "luxury" items.

Solution



Our solution at Smart Air is to provide the missing link to help people protect their health from air pollution: knowledge and education.

When people are aware of how simple and easy it is to protect themselves from air pollution, they will want to take action. Furthermore, when they know that $20 is enough to protect their entire family from air pollution, they have the means to do it.

We run workshops that informs people on the reality about air pollution, in order to keep them and their families safe, healthy and happy. Our approach is effective as 8 in 10 people who attend our workshops say they will purchase an air purifier based on what they have learnt.
