When you rent a scooter or car from Get a Vroom, you’re not just unlocking the freedom to explore Puerto Princesa’s pristine beaches or El Nido’s turquoise lagoons. You’re joining a movement to uplift local communities and protect Palawan’s fragile ecosystems. At Get a Vroom, 10% of every rental profits is dedicated to three life-changing initiatives:

1. 5% funds education for children who lack access to schooling.
2. 3% replants coral reefs to revive marine biodiversity.
3. 2% to a local football club mentors at-risk youth, offering hope and guidance.

In this article, we’ll take you behind the scenes of how your adventure fuels scholarships, sports programs, and coral restoration—proving that travel can be a force for good.

1. 7% for Education: Breaking the Cycle of Poverty

The Crisis in Palawan’s Classrooms

Despite Palawan’s booming tourism industry, many families struggle to afford school supplies, uniforms, and transportation. For children in remote villages like Napsan or Tagabinet, but even in for some families in Puerto Princesa education often feels like an impossible dream.

How Your Rental Helps

• Scholarships: Every rental contributes to scholarships for students like Joel, a 12-year-old from Puerto Princesa who was about to drop out form school when we've met him.
• School Kits: Funds provide backpacks, notebooks, and pencils to students annually.
  
  Impact Story:
• Joel, the 12-year-old football player from Barangay San Miguel. Before joining our scholarship program, Joel helped his father scavenging coconuts pieces for resell. Today, he attends school and trains with the United Paragua Football Club —a team we proudly sponsor.

2. The UPFC: More Than a Football Club

A Safe Haven for At-Risk Youth

Many children in Puerto Princesa grow up in single-parent households or with guardians working long hours in tourism. Without guidance, they’re vulnerable to exploitation or dropping out of school.

How the UPFC Transform Lives

• Mentorship: Coaches double as life skills trainers, teaching teamwork, discipline, and resilience.
• Meals & Gear: Your rentals fund nutritious post-practice meals and football equipment for 150+ players.
• Community Outreach: The team volunteers at local barangays, cleaning beaches and planting trees.

Coach Ton's Words:
“Football keeps these kids off the streets. When they put on their jerseys, they’re not ‘poor’ or ‘orphans’—they’re athletes with pride. Your rentals give them a future.”

3. 3% for Coral Restoration: Healing Palawan’s Underwater Gardens

Why Coral Matters

Palawan’s reefs are the backbone of its marine ecosystem and tourism economy. Yet, overfishing and climate change have degraded 40% of its coral cover since 2010.

Get a Vroom’s Coral Nurseries

• Partner: We work with Suluubai, a nonprofit training local divers to rebuild reefs.
• Process: Your funds grow coral fragments in nurseries near, then transplant them to damaged sites.
• Progress: To date, 2,500+ corals have been replanted, attracting fish back to areas .

Diver’s Perspective:
“Every coral planted is a step toward reviving our oceans. Tourists who rent scooters with Get a Vroom are part of this miracle.”
