DOLEFIL Chairs for Trees Project is a program that was launched in 2003 by the Dolefil company. It promotes environmental protection advocacy through the recycling of the Company's wooden pallets into useful colorful armchairs which are reciprocated through planting trees by the beneficiaries.
Last week we had our Dolefil CSR Tour (Corporate Social Responsibilities). It was a quick tour with SOCCSKSARGEN Bloggers.
Dolefil with their partner cooperative shows us the process on how they recycled the wooden pallets into colorful armchairs. Our first visit was at Unified Engineering and Manpower Services Multi-Purpose Cooperative located at Polomolok, South Cotabato where chairs being made.
From pallet the carpenter dismantle it , cut then assemble to make a chair and painted it. The company pays the cooperative P270.00 per chair fabricated. With the help of Mahintana Foundation, Inc., these chairs chairs are distributed to beneficiary institutions like public schools, churhes and day-care centers.
As reciprocating action they must plant a tree to the designated area in the school. The Company through Mahintana Foundation, Inc. regularly checks the planted trees' survival. The beneficiaries must able to achieve at least 80% survival rate for their planted trees. As you can see the photos below is the Upper Klinan Elementary School one of the beneficiary. The kids are full happiness with their new chairs.
To Dolefil, you are brilliant! Your project helps our mother earth, it gives livelihood and make childrens happy.
