A Little Bit About Us
We design and produce well-made products for everyday use - from individual use to corporate gifting and team distribution.
Our work is grounded in responsibly sourced and upcycled materials, developed over years of working closely with partner communities across Asia.
Purnama (Purnama Outreach Pte Ltd™) was founded in Singapore as a social enterprise, with a focus on creating products that support livelihoods, skill development, and more sustainable use of materials.
What has become clearer over time is this: the impact only holds value when the products are actually used - and used consistently, in everyday settings.
Today, we are focused on bringing these products into more regular, practical use - across individuals, teams, and organisations.
Over the years, through partnerships and purchases, we've diverted hundreds of innertube tires, plastic bags, and thousands of single-use straws from landfills - while supporting ongoing education and skill development across our partner communities.

Our work aligns with recognized sustainability and social enterprise standards.

OUR WORK
Our work spans multiple regions across Asia, including Nepal, Indonesia, and Singapore - focussed on material recovery and skill development.
Purnama was established with a commitment to support the Fight For Education Program - a focus that continues today, with a portion of our work directly support education and skill development across our partner communities.
BEHIND THE SCENE: The Co-Founders
Purnama Outreach Pte Ltd ("Purnama") was incorporated in 2014, Singapore as a Social Enterprise. A woman co-founder partnered with her husband to introduce Purnama to the world.
The word Purnama is part of her name. Purnama means "Full-Moon" in Bahasa Indonesia, or, one may say Bulan Purnama (Bulan means Moon), where we hope to provide a light for those in need.
The founders bring hands-on experience across community partnerships, product development, and cross-border collaboration - working across Asia to connect design, sourcing, and execution.
This continues to shape how Purnama is built and delivered today.
