WHO WE ARE

Founders

Hello! We're Rafaela and Kevin, co-founders of SeedlingHub — a non-profit committed to combating marine pollution.
 

With our German-Indonesian and German-Brazilian backgrounds, we've witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of marine litter on communities in the Global South. After over 13 years in global waste management, we realized that while beach clean-ups and awareness campaigns are important, they aren't enough to tackle the root causes of ocean pollution.
 

Driven to fight greenwashing and ineffective solutions, we founded SeedlingHub to empower grassroots initiatives and local heroes genuinely addressing marine pollution through sustainable practices and viable business models.
 

Our mission is to cultivate promising "Seedlings" - Community-led projects and social businesses in low- and middle-income countries - that can grow into significant movements against marine pollution.


Join us in making a real difference. Whether you collaborate with us, support our initiatives, or help spread the word, together we can protect our oceans and uplift communities worldwide.
