For the Next Generation
The effort to make India a green land is commendable. Trees play a crucial role in producing oxygen and fighting poverty. They are sentient beings and offer us protection from the sun’s rays by creating shade. Providing the Next Generation with the gift of trees will rejuvenate our ecosystem and secure a better future.
Our Journey
On a fine day, two founders, who had been together since fifth grade, had a life-changing experience. It all began when they decided to visit a friend’s property that spanned over 100 acres. The moment they stepped onto the land, they were hit by the intense heat and humidity of the area. As they looked around, they realized that the entire property was barren, with no trees or shade in sight. Their curiosity pushed them to learn more about the area and the people who lived there. They soon discovered that poverty was widespread in the region, and the lack of trees only made life harder for those living below the poverty line. They knew that they needed to do something to make a difference.
One day, while attending a political campaign organized by a friend’s friend who was running for office. They realized that planting a single tree wouldn’t make much of an impact. But, what if they aimed for something bigger? What if they could plant a billion trees across the country and help millions of people in need? Thus, the journey began. They started small, planting a few trees on their friend’s property, but soon realized that they needed to scale their efforts to make a real difference. They began collaborating with local communities and organizations, spreading awareness about the importance of planting trees and creating a greener future for all.
They believed that planting a billion trees can solve predominant problems in this nation. So their vision is to mobilize people from all walks of life to join their cause, to plant a billion trees, transforming the landscape of the country. They had gone from being two curious founders to creating a nationwide movement which is going to make a huge impact over millions of people in need. They knew that there was still much work to be done, but they were up for the challenge. Their vision is to create a greener future for the next generation and this will be possible only by you!
