“I have been a television commercial director for many years but my first opportunity working with OBW on The Dorsal Effect story really enriched my soul, something I have never felt before. I believe good stories about such organisations can help to reshape society’s perceptions, touch more people, and get them to come forward to volunteer or donate in support of the cause.”

Francis Tan

“I find working with OBW more meaningful than other media platforms because it is 100 per cent true to its core in helping make an impact. It engages every viewer to do something. It makes the world a better place by exposing the people to the good being done, and in turn, gives all of us a chance to participate too.”

Raisa Bautista
Filmmaker (Philippines)
“OBW is far more engaged, collaborative, and thorough in identifying, vetting, and building relationships with story subjects. Also critical is their empathy and sensitivity towards the featured issues and story subjects. Its reach is significant, but numbers aside, OBW's impact is its mere presence as a socially-conscious advocate of good causes. In these times of weaponised big data, OBW's role is all the more important as we grapple with challenges from refugee crises to climate change.”

In November 2022, we invited our community in Singapore for an in-person event as part of our series Silent No More: Giving Voice to Mental Health. The event featured Edwin, Priyanka and Sharon whose stories on childhood trauma garnered over four million views on our website and social channels. Of those who attended our events, 93% feel more open towards talking about childhood trauma, 94% are more inclined to seek help for their mental health and 97% said they want to help reduce the stigma around childhood trauma.

In July 2022, we held our virtual community event STORY TALK as part of our new series Our Better Earth: Reset, where 80 participants from across Asia met Environmental Changemakers – Sahaana Sankar (Hand in Hand) Agastya Yatra (Merah Putih Hijau) and Danny Lim (Repair Kopitiam), who shared how they work with local communities to influence and reset environmental habits. We even planted a tree from Ecomatcher, on behalf of every audience member who attended the event.

For the final year of our A Wild Life series, we held our virtual community event STORY TALK where we spotlighted conservations Kalen from Manas Maozigendri Ecotourism Society, Jayson from Philippine Eagle Foundation and Lara from RIMAU, the Tiger Protection Society of Malaysia, who shared how they are empowering local communities to become wildlife protectors in India, the Philippines and Malaysia. From our post event survey, we saw audience members more inclined to play their part to protect wildlife!
