Our cause
We care about the planet we love to explore.
Together, we support sustainable travel.
When you give a Flightgift, you also give back to the planet.
For every Flightgift bought and every flight booked, we ensure a tree is planted with the help of Eden Reforestation Projects. This tree does not just add to a greener environment in an area that needs it but it’s also crucial for lowering extreme poverty.
Sustainable travel gift
Our mission is to be a 100% zero-waste business by 2025.
Our collaboration with Eden Reforestation Projects allows us to combine our values and mission of spreading happiness through gifting and caring for the world. Flightgift aims to be a sustainable travel gift, ideal for the eco-conscious world traveller.
For every Hotelgift purchased and for every gift card that’s redeemed to book a new hotel stay, 1,000 litres of water is donated. Made Blue operates globally, and works especially with communities in Ethiopia and Java.
They work to provide clean drinking water, which is crucial in preventing deadly infectious diseases and supporting families in poverty-stricken communities. Made Blue is here for the long run. More than half of the water pumps provided by charities, unfortunately, stop working after a while. This leaves many families in developing countries without clean water once again. Therefore, Made Blue makes sure that all of their projects are carefully being screened and fitted in order to make a positive impact for the long term and at least for the next 10 years.
A sustainable travel gift that offsets carbon emissions is our aim. However, due to our collaboration, there’s much more that happens than just planting trees.
Another primary goal of Eden is to reduce poverty as much as possible. Combining the goals of environmental restoration and increasing the social-economic conditions of poor communities, Eden has found the perfect solution. Eden also calls this the “Employ to Plant” methodology. In other words, when you buy a Flightgift, you don’t just help to plant a tree, you also:
- Reduce poverty by allowing Eden Reforestation Projects to hire local villagers to plant those very trees you help us fund.
- Enable villagers to have an opportunity to earn a decent salary.
- Support communities by giving locals an opportunity to provide for their families.
Thank you for being a part of the movement towards a more sustainable future.
