### Our Mission

### Our Goals

**To Boost Community Onboarding and Education**

ReFi Phangan is a pioneer of regenerative finance on Koh Phangan, focusing on community building through onboarding events to introduce more local communities, NGOs, and individuals to web3 technologies and ReFi. Additionally, we aim to organize sustainability-focused events and mini-workshops in collaboration with existing activists on the island.

**To Expand Cleanups and Environmental Initiatives**

ReFi Phangan aims to increase the frequency and scale of cleanup activities on Koh Phangan by partnering with [Decentralized Cleanup Network](https://x.com/decentracleanup) and activating island community for DeCleanup Rewards program. This extra incentive and encouragement to participate in monthly cleanup will be a big step towards raising collective 
awareness about proper waste management among the residents. Eventually it will set up the scene for the next goal.

**To Establish the Re:Plast Full Circle Recycling Facility**

Our epic goal is to benefit the environment of the entire island by organizing and providing the necessary support for the local government or village community to start running a dedicated recycling center for converting plastic waste into sustainable products based on the [Precious Plastic program](https://www.preciousplastic.com).
