Changemakers

Women equality and climate change

Something that is important to me is supporting and lifting up others who are making a difference in the world. Organizations and companies that are going above and beyond to make this world a better place. To work towards addressing issues like climate change, wildlife conservation, human rights and equality, and environmental conservation. These topics are all linked and by supporting these groups we ourselves also become changemakers.

HER Planet Earth

I found HER Planet Earth through the Armchair Explorer podcast and knew immediately that this was an organization I could get behind.

Made up of strong women fighting for equality they aim to empower women ​to become policymakers and agents of change to achieve social and economic equity and a healthy and thriving planet.

Going on adventures to create change

HER Planet Earth has raised around three quarters of a million dollars to support organizations that empower underprivileged women affect by climate change around the world.
