Sungai Watch was founded by three siblings, united by a shared love for Indonesia’s rivers and a determination to protect them from plastic pollution. Growing up surrounded by natural beauty, they saw firsthand how plastic waste was choking the waterways they cherished. Driven by a deep, personal connection to the land and a sense of responsibility, they created Sungai Watch, an organization dedicated to restoring rivers to their natural state. Together, they designed floating barriers to capture plastic waste before it reaches the ocean, mobilizing local communities to join the fight. For these siblings, every river cleaned is more than an environmental win—it’s a tribute to their roots and a vision for a cleaner, healthier world for future generations.
