Program Details

Serang Beach, Blitar, is a village that offers a glimpse into the tranquility and activities of the local community, particularly in agriculture. Javanese arts and culture are still preserved here.

Here, volunteers will live side by side with the local people, exchanging traditions, languages, and implementing eco-living concepts. We embrace an eco-friendly lifestyle and have several sustainability projects, such as preserving endemic plants in conservation areas, planting Indigofera tintoria plants for natural blue dye in batik, reforestation, maintaining turtle and mangrove conservation areas, sorting organic and inorganic waste, and collecting wood waste from the sea for artwork. All of our projects are related to nature.

Our goal is to save the earth from water, air, and noise pollution, raise public awareness about sustainability, encourage cultural and language exchange, and create an ecosystem that strengthens local education and economy.

We need you. Come join us in this sustainability project. I'm waiting for you.
Come join us in our daily lives, not just as volunteers, but as "Nature Guardians"! Greening the earth together!

Regards,

Dita Faisal & Endik Koeswoyo
