mukungule project

1 candle purchased, 1 tree planted

At Atelier Maple, we create candles that tell stories and awaken emotions.

They are there to brighten up your moments , to bring warmth and comfort to everyday life.
But for us, the light of a candle does not stop at its flame or its fragrance.

It can also be a way to act , to bring something tangible to the world around us.

This is why we have chosen to link our universe to nature and trees.
A perfume is already a memory, an atmosphere, a piece of life.

So we want each candle to also be a concrete gesture : a tree that takes root somewhere in the world and that will remain long after the candle has burned down.

How do we fit into this process?

We have chosen to donate a portion of the revenue generated by each candle to WeForest in order to plant a tree for each of them.

Through our partnership with WeForest , we are supporting the Mukungule project in Zambia: a region where Miombo forests are coming back to life, where locals are keeping bees and growing crops differently to protect their land .

Bees play a central role: They pollinate, produce honey and become the very driving force behind reforestation.

But this project doesn't just protect trees : it also supports local families.
Reforestation goes hand in hand with new economic opportunities: beekeeping, sustainable crops, and training in forest-related professions. This allows residents to live better lives today while protecting their children's future.

And you ?

Each candle you choose becomes a tree, a gesture for the planet and for the families of Mukungule.

So yes, planting a tree may not seem like much. But it's actually huge.
A tree not only provides cleaner air, more fertile soil, a preserved water source and shelter for biodiversity, but it also provides an additional opportunity for a family to live with dignity, thanks to the income generated by a vibrant environment.

And put end to end, these trees become a forest!

Starting in September 2025, every candle purchased from Atelier Maple will plant a tree in Mukungule.
