Dharti Saathi
In the face of rapid consumerism and environmental deterioration, our planet is confronting a climate crisis, resulting in a loss of its vibrant colors. Urgent action is imperative. Awareness and action serve as the cornerstones of our initiatives, recognizing that awareness precedes action, leading to behavioral change.
To cultivate awareness, we've developed a school-based Environmental Learning Program aimed at revitalizing and replenishing the diminishing hues of nature, while combating the climate crisis. This program is supported by a dedicated group of Dharti Saathis, who champion awareness and accelerate action within our partner communities.
Milestones & Track Record
GFI has run over 8 campaigns so far and implemented community-based projects in various locations including West Bengal, Mahad, Delhi, and Cuffe Parade.
