HOW WE HELP…
Knowledge Sharing
On every expedition, Five Fires invites a number of special hosts who hold a particular knowledge or skill that will contribute to our goals, support local community and give guests a deeper connection with the culture and environment they are surrounded by.
EDUCATION
Every guest with Five Fires, supports local schools, the building of new medical outposts and contributes to our rangers who work to educate and protect the private conservation areas we develop.
SHARED PROFIT MODEL
100%
All profit from our shop goes to supporting the local marine sanctuary and other conservation projects.
FIVE FIRES
MARINE SANCTUARY
FIVE ISLANDS IN THE CORAL SEA
The lease over this beautiful and remote set of five islands, from which we draw inspiration for our name, affords us the luxury of protecting the local reefs as a self managed and protected marine reserve.
And the name? Locally, people travelling in traditional Silau, sailing canoes, would be guided by a fire on the beach of one of the five small islands - which would lead them to safety in bad weather. On arrival they could share a meal and a story whilst waiting out the storm.
COMMUNITY PROJECTS
MAKING CHANGE
One of the most Important contributions we can make is
to focus on our community and conservation projects.
Our school program means that every guest who stays with us puts a child in school for a year. Our cottage industry projects helps educate local industry and connect them to an international market, be it wood carvings, coconut oil or weaved shopping bags and our health centre support sees funding for supplies and repairing run down buildings. It is ambitious and always in need of help, so we welcome you in joining us and getting involved in any way you can.
