Our Strength

From its small beginnings Project GreenHands has already achieved remarkable results. The Isha Foundation, with its ethos of selfless giving and its core of dedicated volunteers, has been central to the project and has inspired thousands of others to become involved, not only in India, but all over the world. The inclusivity of Project GreenHands, capturing the interest and enthusiasm of everyone from small children to successful businessmen and politicians, has ensured that there has been a groundswell of local rural support with all the indigenous understanding and knowledge that such support brings. Indigenous local knowledge ensures that the trees planted are appropriate to the ongoing needs of the living communities, that the ancient ways of working with, rather than against nature are re-established, and that all involved appreciate the need to maintain this level of ecological awareness for the future.
