Li An Phoa is the founder of Drinkable Rivers, an organisation working towards a world where rivers are once again drinkable, by raising awareness through inspiring river walks, education and various action programs. 

In September 2023, Li An and a dedicated team of volunteers set off on an ambitious month-long expedition known as the Thames River Walk. This extraordinary journey traced the river's path from its humble beginnings in the Cotswolds, extending all the way until it gracefully merged with the vast expanse of the North Sea.
