Indonesia, the hub of our commitment
Since 2016, Clarins has been providing support for local projects in several regions in the Sumatra Island, Indonesia.
Our goal? To improve and preserve the quality of land, reduce erosion, and increase and diversify the producers' income. A genuinely virtuous circle wherein we are all key players who collaborate with each other:
You, PUR Projet and Clarins.
Women speak
Maksyarin (36) - wearing brown clothes - and Sulaini (37) - wearing yellow clothes - are two sisters living a few km outside Takengon
The both work in the hectares family’s farm, cultivating coffee, durian, jack fruit, orange and cacao. They normally clean and pick coffee. The farm also has a nursery for coffee plants (showed in the pictures). In here the family grows the plants twice a year for then being distributed to the other farmers of the area. At the moment they have 16.000 4-months old plants (they will be ready in December). Maksyarin has 3 kids and Sulaini 5.
