Our Mission, Vision and Values

The mission of TREES ARE LIFE is “Plant trees, improve the living conditions of local communities and facilitate the access to university studies for young people from the region, all based on environmental sustainability with a special emphasis on equal opportunities.

The vision of TREES ARE LIFE is "To be a reference association for the most disadvantaged people and communities in the Peruvian Amazon so that through environmental actions they can increase their quality of life."

Values

Multi-directional commitment

  • Commitment to the beneficiaries, involving them, as far as possible, in the decision-making processes on the projects.
  • Commitment to benefactors, informing them frequently and listening to them whenever they contact us.
  • Commitment to our volunteers making them part of all the processes and discussing any suggestion on their part.
  • Trees are Life

    Plans to plant 22,000 trees in 2024 and 2025 to generate oxygen for 1,000 people for years.

  • Give support to local communities

    Much of the work necessary to plant the projected trees will be done by the indigenous families of the region, paying them a decent retribution.

  • Facilitate access to university studies

    Few young people in the Peruvian jungle have the financial means to study at university. TREES ARE LIFE will set aside 15% of their income to help them meet this goal. In addition, a donation campaign is organised three times a year to raise funds for this specific purpose.
