Lampi Foundation
A resort that not only sustains and protects the Lampi Marine National Park, it also benefits and transforms the lives of the surrounding communities. The Lampi Foundation was founded to help fund social welfare and conservation projects in and around the Lampi Marine National Park in the Myeik Archipelago. The Foundation is funded through efforts of the Wa Ale and other contributing partners; including The Global Medical Volunteers and The Wildlife Conservation Society
Working with the Wildlife Conservation Society and the Ministry of Environmental Conservation and Forestry of the Union of Myanmar; Lampi Foundation built the first sea turtle hatchery in Lampi Marine National Park to help provide a safe environment for the Green and Leatherback turtles that nest on the island of Wa Ale
The Lampi Foundation also supports and helps fund and provide training for a local medical clinic and schools in the villages of Salet Galet and May Kyone Galet. The foundation regularly provides supplies, equipment and medicine for the local inhabitants of the 2 villages. Through eco-tourism, Wa Ale pledges to annually donate 20% of net profits and 2% of room revenues from Wa Ale to the Lampi Foundation
About Wa Ale
The brainchild of Chris and Farina Kingsley, Wa Ale was born out of their love for a country, its people and its unspoiled paradise. Their dream: the first luxury eco-resort to open the doors of Myanmar’s untouched Myeik Archipelago to the world; it is a haute-bohemian utopia that all began with a couple’s spirit of adventure and heart of purpose. Wa Ale, offering the epitome of luxury and comfort without impacting the environment in any way; not a single tree removed.
