At One Bhoomi Foundation, our mission is rooted in building a greener, more resilient world through grassroots efforts that engage local communities. As climate change intensifies, we recognize that our role as an NGO can only reach its full potential when we collaborate with other critical players—especially educational institutions. By joining forces with schools and universities, we can reach young people directly, inspiring them to take meaningful action for the planet’s future.
The Power of Partnership
NGOs and educational institutions each bring unique strengths to climate initiatives. One Bhoomi Foundation, for instance, has the agility to implement hands-on environmental projects quickly and effectively, with access to specialized knowledge and community networks. Educational institutions, however, are where the future generation of leaders and environmental stewards are shaped. Schools reach hundreds of young people every day, offering fertile ground for instilling environmental values and practices that will endure for a lifetime.
Our recent initiative, Ondu Gida Thayiya Hesaralli, serves as a great example of the power of collaboration. Working alongside Vishwamanava High School and Balu Public School, we planted 70 saplings, bringing together students to promote reforestation and environmental stewardship. Students not only planted saplings but named them after their mothers, adding a personal touch that deepened their connection to the project. Together, they pledged to nurture these young trees over the next two years, learning first-hand about the importance of long-term care and climate resilience. This initiative supports Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 13 (Climate Action), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 4 (Quality Education), emphasizing how collaboration can address multiple global challenges in one impactful effort.

Learning Beyond the Classroom
Through projects like Ondu Gida Thayiya Hesaralli, students experience hands-on learning that goes beyond textbooks. By participating in tree-planting drives and environmental workshops, they see climate resilience in action. These experiences equip students with practical skills in project planning, teamwork, and environmental care—values that align closely with One Bhoomi’s goal of cultivating a generation that values sustainability and community action.
Building Community, Cultivating Change
One of the most rewarding aspects of our work with schools is the sense of community that arises from shared purpose. At Ondu Gida Thayiya Hesaralli, students from different schools came together in mixed teams, sharing knowledge and supporting each other as they worked towards a common goal. This interaction fosters a community spirit that’s essential for lasting environmental impact. By investing in collaborative programs, One Bhoomi is helping build a resilient community where each member feels responsible for and connected to the environment.
A Legacy of Sustainable Action
As we continue our journey, One Bhoomi Foundation is committed to strengthening partnerships with educational institutions. Together, we’re creating an interconnected network of young environmentalists who are prepared to tackle climate issues both locally and globally. When we join hands with educators, students gain the insights, inspiration, and skills they need to make a lasting impact—an impact that reverberates through their families, communities, and beyond.
Our work has shown us that through collaboration, we can build a stronger, more sustainable world. By nurturing a new generation of climate advocates and empowering communities, One Bhoomi Foundation and our partners are setting down roots for a healthier, greener future—one tree, one student, and one community at a time.
