At Berawa Luxe, our commitment goes beyond beautiful products—it’s about nurturing the world that inspires them. That’s why we are incredibly proud to partner with Trees4Trees, an extraordinary Indonesian non-profit organization that is not just fighting deforestation but is fundamentally changing the lives of local communities across the archipelago.
We believe true luxury lies in sustainability, and our support for Trees4Trees is central to this vision. Here’s a closer look at their vital work and why we encourage you to join us in supporting their mission.
The Power of Sustainable Prosperity
Trees4Trees, a program run by the Sustainable Green Earth Foundation (Yayasan Bumi Hijau Lestari), is dedicated to renewing the environment and empowering people. They understand that for reforestation to be successful and lasting, it must be economically advantageous for the people who live in the forest areas.
Their strategy, known as Community Forestry, follows a profound philosophy: “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him how to fish and he will eat for life.”
Free Assets, Full Ownership: Trees4Trees provides local farmers and landowners with high-value seedlings—species like Teak, Mahogany, and various fruit trees—completely free of charge.
Knowledge is Key: They offer crucial technical guidance on planting, maintenance, and sustainable forestry practices, ensuring the trees thrive.
Long-Term Livelihoods: The landowner retains full ownership of the planted trees. As these high-value species mature, they become substantial financial assets for the farmer and their family, building "Sustainable Prosperity" that reduces rural poverty and ensures the forest is cared for generations.
Real Impact, Rooted in Community
The work of Trees4Trees has resulted in verifiable, life-changing impact across Java and beyond. Their hands-on, engaged approach ensures every project is monitored and tracked, giving us—and you—full confidence in our support.
As of their latest reporting, their dedicated efforts have resulted in:
Over 15.9 Million Trees Planted: Contributing directly to carbon capture and soil health.
Over 90,000 Families Helped: Providing sustainable economic opportunities for thousands of households.
3.1 Million Tonnes of CO2 Captured: Directly mitigating climate change.
They are currently leading critical projects like the massive Citarum Watershed Restoration effort, aiming to plant millions of trees to secure water sources, and planting Mangrove green belts along the coast of Java to protect vulnerable shorelines from erosion and flooding.
