Sungai Watch

Sungai Watch is an environmental organization dedicated to stopping plastic pollution in rivers before it reaches the ocean. Founded in 2020 by Gary, Kelly, and Sam Bencheghib in Bali, Indonesia, their team of over 100 "river warriors" designs and installs trash barriers, organizes cleanups, and analyzes pollution data. Their impact reports reveal the effectiveness of their scalable approach, which includes expanding operations throughout Asia. They encourage community involvement through sponsorships, volunteering, and partnerships​.
