Madurai-based organisation accelerates environmental action through a growing network of international volunteers

Madurai, India — Tree Donate Today Foundation, a rapidly emerging environmental organisation headquartered in Madurai, has announced its ambitious global mission: to plant 500 crore (5 billion) trees worldwide by the year 2030. With a vision rooted in ecological restoration and community-driven environmental reform, the Foundation is taking bold steps to address climate change, biodiversity loss, and the urgent need for greener living spaces.

Under the leadership of Mr. Nagarajan Narayanasamy, Managing Trustee, Tree Donate Today Foundation has been steadily expanding its volunteer network and on-ground activities. The organisation’s approach places strong emphasis on creating “Social Reforming Volunteers” — individuals empowered and trained to contribute meaningfully to environmental sustainability efforts in their communities.

Speaking on the organisation’s growth, Mr. Nagarajan Narayanasamy shared, “We believe that environmental protection is not just an initiative, but a movement. By building a global community of volunteers, we are creating a chain reaction of positive environmental action that can transform the planet. Our goal of planting 500 crore trees is not just a number; it is a pledge to future generations.”

Expanding Global Volunteer Network

The Foundation’s vision has resonated widely across countries, resulting in the formation of a diverse and committed volunteer force. At present, the organisation has successfully onboarded:

  • 1,000 volunteers from India
  • 1,000 volunteers from Malaysia
  • 500 volunteers from Kenya

This global network plays a crucial role in driving awareness, conducting plantation drives, participating in environmental education programs, and championing sustainable practices at local and national levels.

On-Ground Progress: Plantation Activities Across Regions

Tree Donate Today Foundation has already initiated several plantation drives across South India, marking the beginning of its long-term afforestation mission. To date, the organisation has planted approximately 2,000 tree saplings in key cities including:

Theni (Tamil Nadu), Trichy (Tamil Nadu), Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala)

These early efforts underscore the Foundation’s commitment to translating its vision into measurable action. Each plantation drive is conducted with careful planning, community involvement, and post-plantation maintenance strategies to ensure long-term survival of the saplings.

A Mission Aligned with Global Environmental Priorities

The Foundation’s 2030 goal aligns closely with global sustainability frameworks, including UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as Climate Action, Life on Land, and Sustainable Cities and Communities. By focusing on tree plantation and environmental awareness, the organisation aims to:

Combat air pollution, Restore degraded land, Enhance urban green cover, Support wildlife habitats, Encourage individuals to adopt eco-friendly practices

Creating Social Reforming Volunteers

Lead plantation drives, Educate communities about sustainability, Engage schools, colleges, and local groups

Advocate for environmental policies and local actions

This model ensures that the movement expands organically, building a culture of environmental responsibility at the grassroots level.

Looking Ahead: Scaling Up for 2030

With a strong foundation and increasing global support, Tree Donate Today Foundation is preparing to scale its activities significantly. Plans for the coming years include:

Expanding volunteer teams across more countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe, Launching large-scale plantation drives in urban and rural regions, Collaborating with schools, corporates, and government bodies, Developing environmental research and awareness programs, Implementing tree-tracking systems for survival monitoring

A Call to Action

Tree Donate Today Foundation invites individuals, educational institutions, corporate partners, and environmental enthusiasts from around the world to join the movement. With every sapling planted, the organisation believes the world moves one step closer to ecological balance and a greener future.

“Together, we can rebuild the planet. One tree at a time, one volunteer at a time,”

Mr. Nagarajan Narayanasamy added.

Mumbai 5th June 2022 – With ardent advocacy for green and renewable energy, NeoSmile Foundation continued its march towards a greener and sustainable India on the eve of World Environment Day. NeoSmile Foundation embarked on a massive ‘Tree Plantation’ drive across Mumbai suburbs and its neighboring districts, receiving strong support from the city locals, farmers, children, and social volunteers. Besides the tree plantation drive in areas of Mumbai (Kandivali & Matunga), Thane district (Badlapur), NeoSmile Foundation also conducted informative and awareness sessions for the participants.

The effects of global warming are apparent for all to see. Alarming carbon emission levels, poor air quality due to pollution, and inconsiderate use of natural resources are guiding us down a path we may never recover from.

NeoSmile Foundation is aiming to change this narrative and chart a path for a greener future in Mumbai and across India. NeoSmile Foundation’s mission is to build a more humane, inclusive, equitable, and sustainable society. Spurred on by their philosophy to embrace social responsibility and the thought that positive contributions towards society as a whole will drive development and upliftment towards a greener future.

On this year’s World Environment Day, NeoSmile Foundation conducted a massive ‘Tree Plantation’ drive where more than 100 NeoSmile Foundation volunteers reached out to the corners of Matunga, Kandivali, Badlapur, areas to plant 200+ indigenous varieties of flowers, fruits, and vegetable crops across these regions.

Along with NeoSmile Foundation volunteers, more than 160 special children from the ‘Children Aid Society’ in Matunga participated in this drive to develop a ‘Butterfly Garden’ which is now adorned with beautiful flowers and fruit plants. The children and staff were also educated about global warming effects and other various horticulture techniques to keep nurturing the Butterfly Garden and contribute to developing more greener spaces around.

Local farmers joined us in the drive to cultivate vegetable and fruit crops in areas of Badlapur (Thane District). The farmers were also guided on the latest farming techniques and methods they can adopt to yield a better crop and were taught the benefits of using sustainable energies like solar and wind.

The Tree Plantation drive in Thakur village (Kandivali) was witnessed by senior government dignitaries who volunteered to plant and spread the word by emphasizing on Green Energy and the importance of curbing the global warming threat.

“Giving back to society and giving high priority to human life, well-being, safety, and compliance is our mission,” says Mr. A. L. Rathi, the Founder of NeoSmile Foundation Foundation.

“It is our belief that through empowerment and education, we can create meaningful opportunities and build a sustainable future for us and all the lives around us. Global warming is a destructive force and the effects of which will be felt by all of us in the near times. However, areas with inadequate or insufficient access to crucial resources shall witness a harder impact, and therefore our goal through NeoSmile Foundation’s green energy adoption initiative is to brighten the lives of 1 Million Rural lives by the end of 2022.”
