Our pledge: 5% of all online sales
We’ve always believed that business can be done differently and that giving back should be fundamental to all business models.That’s why we have structured our operations around a philosophy that gives back socially and to the environment. It is how we feel we can contribute ethically and sustainably.
Azuni made a pledge to donate 5% from all our online sales to social charity organisations and environmental causes such as reforestation projects, supporting children through school and providing families with monthly food parcels. This actually equates to almost 19% of our online profits. There aren’t many others jewellery businesses that can say the same thing.
Azuni has partnered with Pueblo A Pueblo and TreeNation and WildAid to help achieve our goal.
Supporting children through an education
We believe that the right to an education is fundamental to any child. This is why we chose to work with the charity Pueblo A Pueblo, supporting the indigenous communities so close to our hearts.
In a country where 75% of the population lives in poverty and only 60% of students complete the sixth grade, getting a scholarship can make all the difference. A typical coffee worker earns only $2 a day, but school materials can cost up to $30 per child. Rural, indigenous communities struggle on a daily basis.
Through the Primary Education Scholarships project Azuni are able to help provide children with the support they need to succeed at school. Children receive supplies, gym shoes and uniforms, and targeted assistance from first through sixth grade. In addition, they receive free medical care at a local clinic.
It means everything to Azuni - that with your support - we are able to make a real difference. Through the project, dozens of students who otherwise would have no access to education have been able to graduate 6th grade literate, confident and with a better chance at a successful future.

5 trees planted with every purchase
We plant 5 trees with EVERY online purchase, through the organisation Treenation.org. Each customer purchase not only becomes carbon neutral but also helps reforest areas in Peru, Tanzanier and hard-hit Madagascar where people are facing famine as a direct result of global warming. With over 45,000 trees already planted we are aiming for 100,000 trees over the next 3 years.
Offsetting our carbon footprint by planting trees around the world is one of the most effective ways to give back to communities, nature and keep our planet beautiful, clean and sustainable for our children and generations to come. So we thank you all for choosing Azuni.
