The entire festival is dedicated to charity, every single person who joined to support this event, does it for charity. The community has decided together to;
- Build a playground for the kids of the island's local school (SD)
- Help the local women of the island with entrepreneurship and permaculture classes, to create their own business. Community gardens, selling their vegetables to the businesses on the island, and helping the islanders realize their dream of becoming a zero-waste island. Get the organics out of your trash, and your plastic has more value, circular economy, circular Lombok.
- Plant 1000 trees yearly with the Superman TREEvolution (during the festival).
- Support Kantor Desa's - the head of the island's ceremony.
