Our Better World tells stories to inspire action. We tell stories of people in Asia who help the vulnerable and disenfranchised. They could be youth easing the burden of the elderly, or locals creating livelihood opportunities for refugees, or mothers starting a movement to end child sexual abuse. They are people from the local communities or within the vulnerable communities. We champion a wide spectrum of causes and represent non-profits or social enterprises that are often overlooked and more in need of support. Through stories, we create awareness on the complexity of social issues, and we shine the light on the people choosing to be part of the solution. We then provide ways for the viewers to act on the issue, join in a conversation and contribute to the featured cause. Our Better World is the digital storytelling initiative of the Singapore International Foundation.

The reason Our Better World (OBW) exists is to make people care. Care about the social issues affecting the world and compelling them to contribute and be part of the solution. We inspire this action through our storytelling. This is why we do what we do - because we believe stories have the power to inspire more people taking action to shape our better world.

Our team started 8 years ago with a three man team and this has grown to 16 today. We have been steadfast in our identity and reputation as impact storytellers. We attribute this to us living out our values by recruiting people and working with partners who believe and resonate with these values - humility, compassion and authenticity.
