About Us
Bukit Lawang Trust is a grassroots conservation and education NGO focused on achieving the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development goals in rural North Sumatra, Indonesia. Established in 2004, the Trust has a long history in conservation, working closely with local communities to enhance quality of life, education, and protect the Leuser Ecosystem's biodiversity. We deliver 15+ high quality programmes to rural communities for free in order to enable people to access more opportunities for their academic, financial, physical and holistic wellbeing as well as foster a respect and care for the environment.
We run an established English as Second Language Programme, a Sustainable Business Programme for adults who want to start their dream business, an Ecological Farming Programme in partnership with a local Eco Farm and a Youth Ranger Programme for children to learn about conservation and how to be a jungle ranger! We also run supporting projects including free fitness programmes and a weekly woman's group as well as providing action-packed 8 week volunteer placements for those looking for a unique volunteer experience.
