Big cities in Indonesia are facing stark pollution problems. In 2023 after factories are open again and vehicles go back to fill the roads; many children are diagnosed with respiratory problems due to thick air pollution in major cities like Jakarta and Surabaya. As these cities have dense populations and no land for cultivation, having green areas is almost impossible. Reva believes that she still can do something by cultivating plants that are easy to grow, have health benefits, as well as are beautiful to look at. Butterfly pea flowers are a good fit. Not only that, but she also turns the flower into various healthy drinks and snacks.

To date, around 2,000 people, including government officials, the community, and students, have benefited from the butterfly pea flower intensification project. Additionally, this project has also improved the local economy. After being educated about processing butterfly pea flowers, the community processed them into marketable food and beverage products through Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises and Muslimat associations.
