    🚐 All Carevan Projects

    We see each Carevan project as a spaceship – launched with care.

    Each project has a destination, crewmates and a bunch of missions to complete before we can land safely. The projects below are listed according to its status:

    • 🚀 Currently flying = Ongoing projects
    • 🪐 Mission complete = Completed projects

    Along the way, we share our Reflections and lessons learnt for ourselves and hopefully, to help others on the same journey of spreading good, wherever we go.

    Reports, the Carevan way

    Here at Carevan, reports are made for humans, by humans, with love.

    Reporting is super important for us as a way to be accountable to our community and those we serve. At the same time, we also are constantly thinking of how to make our reports not boring, complicated, dusty documents that nobody reads or cares about.

    We hope for our reporting to be as accessible, simple & meaningful as possible. If you have any:

    • questions
    • suggestions for improvement
    • requests to share our templates with you for your own reporting

    …drop us a message on Instagram @carevan.sg!

    You may also want to check out our Reflections on each project as well as activism & advocacy in general, especially in Southeast Asia.

    Phew, that was long. Hitch a ride back to the top.
