Focus areas

Focus areas

Our key focus areas of Education, Environment and Women Empowerment are aligned with the UN sustainable development goals (UNSDGs) and we have been catalyzing change in diverse communities through circle-work, film screenings, mini-workshops, vocational training, and afforestation projects to name a few.

While we were faced with the challenge of continuing our work during the pandemic, we were able to creatively deploy our resources for driving change.

Education

We are an organization striving to bring compassion to our education system. We work in close collaboration with educational institutions, school leaders, educators, policymakers, and parents. We are committed to engaging with schools for conducting programs on Mindfulness & Compassion.
We conduct in-person and online awareness sessions for educational institutions and corporates. We believe that fostering a connection between children with nature will help them grow as responsible global citizens. Our Earth Ninjas Fellowship Program introduces young adults to the Systems Thinking approach.
Our Internship program is an initiative to encourage high school children into community service. We tasked interns with interviewing community elders engaged in making the world a better place. Our awareness sessions have been conducted for Residential Condominiums, Groups of Women, The Taj Group of Hotels, and Xavier’s College in Mumbai.

Environment

We are a catalyst for awakening the consciousness of people towards adopting earth-friendly practices. We work with institutions, corporates, communities, and policymakers in innovative ways to create awareness about sustainable practices and assist people in making the correct choices.

Our Afforestation projects include the plantation of over 500 trees in Maharashtra & Uttarakhand. We organized Nature walks in Mumbai for women & children on Earth day, Children’s day & World Environment Day as an initiative to bring in a positive change to be responsible towards nature.
As a passion to reduce environmental pollution, we crafted climate change & nature immersion programs for corporates, leading B-schools & residential societies in Gurgaon & Ghaziabad.
With an objective to inspire children on preserving Mother nature, our Photogging Day is a Playback Theatre-based event in Mumbai for children.
We support self-sufficient communities by setting up an Organic Farmer’s Market & organized a session for domestic helpers in Mumbai on Laborer’s Day. Our Plogging treks across 3 cities in India in collaboration with trek leaders were aimed at connecting people in urban with nature.

Women Empowerment

We are the convenors of “Women Circles” in organizations and communities and work in various settings to provide women with a safe space to explore different options for self-development. This community bonding empowers them to be their confident selves and lead happier lives. Our innovative flagship initiative in Mumbai is based on principles of Circle Work for both elderly & middle-aged women.
Our in-person tailoring classes in Mumbai aim to improve the economic growth of underprivileged women. We teach them how to stitch eco-friendly cloth-based sanitary pads & cloth bags using old bedsheets to lead a dignified livelihood. We have also hosted virtual sessions from Sikkim on sustainable menstruation & hygiene to spread health awareness.
To encourage the potential of skilled tribal women in Odisha we have promoted their skill training videos on basket weaving across various channels.
We are working with a community in Kumaon by supporting women to be self-sufficient. Under this project, we support women to make products such as jams & potpourri from forest produce to lead a sustainable livelihood.
