228肯尼亚社会企业Ocean Sole致力于海洋 中回收的塑料垃圾，用来制作手工艺 品并销售出去，从而一方面为海洋垃 圾治理提供更多资金，另一方面宣传 海洋保护理念。成立至今，Ocean Sole 每年帮助清理肯尼亚海洋和水道中约 75万只(累计1000多吨)的人字拖， 其收入的10%-15%也被固定投入到当地 的海洋保护活动和社区教育中。
在疫情期间，Ocean Sole几乎没有订单， 来自欧美动物园、水族馆的订单都不 得以取消。中南屋协助他们打开中国 市场，把塑料垃圾做的手工艺品卖到 中国。据Ocean Sole市场负责人说，这 是他们在疫情期间唯一的一笔大宗订 单，中南屋的工作为他们的海洋保护 工作提供了重要的资金支持。
Ocean Sole, a Kenyan Social enterprise, makes handicrafts of plastic waste recycled from the ocean and sells them, thereby raises fund for marine conservation. Since its inception, Ocean Sole has helped clean up estimated 750,000 flip-flops (more than 1,000 tons) from Kenya’s oceans and waterways each year. 10%-15% of Ocean Sole’s revenue is plowed back into marine conservation and community education.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ocean Sole had almost no orders, due to the cancellation of orders from zoos and aquariums in Europe and the US. China House assisted them in opening up Chinese market and selling the handicrafts to China. According to Ocean Sole’s marketing manager, the order from China House was their only large order during the pandemic, and the work of China House provided vital financial support for their work in marine conservation.
影响力：
- 2020年初，中南屋带领学生帮助Ocean Sole第一 次打开中国市场，在中国销售了126件手工艺品， 筹集到了超过1万元资金，成为他们疫情时期少 有的一笔经济收入，并收到Ocean Sole的感谢信。
Impact：
- In early 2020, China House led a group of students to help Ocean Sole open Chinese market for the first time, selling 126 handicrafts in China, raising over 10,000 CNY, which was a rare economic income for them during the pandemic, and received appreciation from Ocean Sole.
