Plant Trees & Build Ponds – Restore Kashmir’s Natural Beauty
Kashmir’s landscapes are under threat from deforestation, water scarcity, and climate change. Through our Plant Trees, Build Ponds initiative (otherwise known as Drakht Lagao, Talaab Banao) you can help restore the environment, prevent floods, and create sustainable resources for communities.
Every tree planted and pond built strengthens ecosystems, protects biodiversity, and ensures a greener future for generations to come.

We care for every tree for up to two years, providing water, feed, and expert attention from our dedicated gardener. Our Mini Forest projects are fenced to allow young trees to grow undisturbed and reach a sustainable size, ensuring long-term survival and impact.
How You Can Help
Kashmir is facing a climate emergency. Rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, and extreme weather threaten farms, water supplies, and entire communities. Every tree planted and every pond built strengthens ecosystems, secures water, and protects vulnerable families. Your support today can transform landscapes and safeguard lives for generations.
