Here is a sampling of potential voyages and missions for MAKERSHIP.

During all of our programs we will continue to collect data through documentation and deliver that information back to the world through various social media outlets. At each location we will attempt to construct a physical work of art made with the community in the form of a sculpture, mural, or installation which will tell the story of struggle and effort in which we helped serve.

Recycling program, Berry and Exuma Islands

Few island nations have proper waste management programs in place, yet they are all subject to the modern wastes produced by our current convince driven single use plastic economy. The impact of non biodegradable trash on remote island nations is overwhelmingly obvious, on land and in the sea, as seen on the streets, in the waste bins, and on the beaches and reefs of these beautiful and exotic places. MAKERSHIP will venture out to remote communities and work with local authorities and community groups to activate island-wide collection programs and facilities, return programs, an inter island shipping plans, to help mitigate the devastating effects of single-use plastics.

We will complete beach cleanups, do island wide canvasing and info distribution, hold community awareness meetings municipalities, hold forums to discuss and share the concerns, approaches and activation options with community leaders.

DEPLOYMENT OF earth power lodges

Assisting in re-establishing basic living conditions in disaster zones by delivery and training local municipalities to build and implement renewable energy and green power plant systems during the rebuilding process. 

Earth Power Lodge (EPL) Earth Regenerators stimulate an ecological revolution, rejuvenating our planet’s health. They are not just about generating electricity; they are powerhouses of soil regeneration and biostimulant production. An EPL harnesses the synergy of advanced technology to transform biomass into life-enriching products, fostering a healthier planet.

Our world faces significant environmental challenges. Degraded soils, reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and unsustainable agricultural practices are endangering our ecosystems and food security. The extensive use of chemicals in agriculture is harming not only the soil but also the quality of our food and the health of our planet.

Cuba - Medication & Equipment

The embargo on Cuba has left…..

Medical care is free, but medication isn’t.
Although preventive medical care, diagnostic tests, and medication for hospitalized patients are free, Cubans pay out-of-pocket for outpatient medications. Our typical OTC meds like aspirin and acetaminophen require a prescription from a physician or clinic. Antibiotics and insulin are very expensive, but many generics are affordable when they’re available at the government-run pharmacies.

There are 2 sets of pharmacies.
Besides the government-run pharmacies for Cuban citizens, another set of pharmacies is designated for international travelers. According to Servimedcuba.com, Cuba has some 46 international pharmacies, most of which are in hotels, and a dozen of them are located in Havana.

The foreigners-only pharmacies are fully stocked with imported drugs, though none are from the United States because of the embargo. Medications and assorted sundries are expensive and can only be bought with the tourist currency, the Cuban convertible peso (CUC).

Cubans can make drug purchases in the international drugstores only using the CUC, which is more than 25 times the value of their Cuba peso that’s used on a daily basis. This makes the price of medication very high compared to workers’ wages.
