WE ARE LOKAL
Lokal Lab is a grassroots NGO creating sustainable futures for Siargao, with and for the local community.
We named our organization Lokal to reflect our commitment to using local materials, supporting the local way of life, and keeping things affordable for our community.
We believe in a future that is sustainable, regenerative, and equitable. An island that showcases the symbiosis between culture, climate, and community.
