Hi! We are a group of Israeli and Palestinian Students from an organization called MEET in Israel.

One major field of action is in our value chains. Natural rubber (the material our condoms are made of) is grown on over 14 million hectars world wide, mainly in monocultures, often of deforested land under sometimes precarious working conditions. We have set up a regenerative rubber initiative in which we are working together with farmers in Southern Thailand, sourcing rubber grown in agroforestry systems, providing a guaranteed purchase and premium price.
