2024 Recipient, Hindara Dania

THE PAUL WALKER FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP

A scholarship that does good

We are thrilled to announce Hindara Dania as the 2024 Paul Walker Foundation Award and Scholarship recipient. This scholarship recognizes her outstanding commitment to ocean conservation and her exceptional dedication to our shared mission of doing good.

Originally from the small island of Gili Air, Hindara now leads as a Coral Catch dive leader. She and the Coral Catch team have a mission to empower local women to build careers in marine conservation, providing them with vital training in coral restoration and fostering a safe and supportive network for women’s empowerment.

With the ambitious goal of creating a network of 100 female leaders by 2030, Hindara is working to protect and restore the coral reefs of Indonesia. Hindara is particularly fascinated by the impact of infectious diseases on marine ecosystems and is dedicated to understanding how pathogens are transmitted in the oceans.

She was recently selected as a Darwin 200 Leader and will soon join their sailing and conservation project, highlighting the impact through documentary storytelling. Through her work, hopes to encourage others to discover the beauty of our ocean and join the effort to protect it. 💙
