Celebrate Your Legacy!

Trees donโ€™t plant themselves (we checked; theyโ€™re lazy), but you can, and now itโ€™s easier than ever! Whether itโ€™s your birthday, anniversary, or just a random Tuesday, plant a tree through our new web app; quick, simple, and zero mud on your shoes (unless you want the real deal). One sapling today means cleaner air, cooler cities, and fewer climate meltdowns tomorrow. With Green India Mission 2030, weโ€™re greening everything from dusty lanes to forgotten corners. So go ahead; leaf a legacy! Plant to celebrate, remember, or just because it feels good. Your tree will grow, breathe, and possibly shade someoneโ€™s awkward selfie in 10 years. Letโ€™s turn grey spaces into green miracles and build a future full of oxygen, not excuses. Donโ€™t let WiFi be your greatest gift to the planet; click, plant, and grow change!

Young Environmental Ambassador

The Young Environmental Ambassador Programme by We Grow Forest Foundation is a year-long leadership journey crafted for passionate students and youth dedicated to making real, local impact in climate action and sustainability. Through guided projects, hands-on experiences, and global exposure aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ambassadors become the voice and energy behind change in their schools, colleges, and communities. This programme builds skills, nurtures confidence, and connects young changemakers to a wider green movement. If you’re ready to lead with purpose and grow into an environmental leader of tomorrow; this is where your journey begins.

ESG in Action, SDG at Heart

From publishing our second ESG report in a row to embedding sustainability in education and everyday action, we align each step with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. As one of the few organizations in the country with a clear environmental policy and a consistent record of transparency, we lead with purpose and conviction. Being women-led, we restore forests, revive village libraries, and build inclusive spaces where wellness and belonging thrive. Our policy reflects a firm commitment; guiding real work for cleaner oceans, greener communities, and conscious living. Through student engagement, clean-up drives, and tree planting, we turn intent into lasting impact. These efforts connect with clarity, forming a strong response to global challenges. We act not for recognition, but for change. Because when people unite with care and resolve, even the worldโ€™s biggest to-do list begins to look possible.

Everyday Heroes for a Healthier Planet

Protecting the environment goes beyond grand gestures; everyday choices reflect how much we care. Whether itโ€™s placing a bowl of clean water outside for thirsty birds and animals or reporting littering in public spaces, each action creates impact. This summer, while you enjoy the shade and a cool drink, be a hero to voiceless creatures braving the heat. Just place a bowl of water outside and when a bird, squirrel, or furry friend visits, click a photo and WhatsApp it to us. Youโ€™ll receive an e-certificate of kindness (downloadable from the Certificate Section). At the same time, stay alert; littering pollutes water, harms life, and scars our shared spaces. Report such acts to us; weโ€™ll ensure follow-up with authorities. Kindness and vigilance go hand in hand; because every drop and every responsible call truly matters.
