We are a solid waste management NGO that works through a combination of direct action initiatives, awareness-raising and community engagement programs, local advocacy, and long-term collaborative partnership with various government bodies.
Our mission is (1) to develop sustainable solid waste management systems by being a catalyst for community-based decentralized initiatives in rural, urban, and protected areas, (2) to pioneer replicable models of waste management, innovative practices in awareness and education, and (3) to formalize and improve the informal livelihoods and stigmatized conditions of waste workers.
As a fiscal sponsor, SEE incubates projects that will make a cultural impact by creating progressive, social, and environmental change. Our projects provide constructive innovations at grassroots levels and long-term cultural transformation to create a more socially just and environmentally sustainable world.
SankalpTaru Foundation is India's first IT enabled NGO, planting trees from the majestic mountains of Leh Ladakh to the coasts of Tamil Nadu. Operational across 25 Indian states and 35 major cities, we have planted and survived more than 30,00,000 trees. We are dedicated towards the sustainable development of the planet and also promote rural livelihood, empower women and work towards making schools cleaner and greener. Our team aims at reducing the carbon footprint of the global public, while mobilizing them for environmental conservation. Through GPS technology integrated with Google Earth and Maps, we have devised geo-tagging of trees, thus providing visibility and transparency to our stakeholders and contributors.
