ONGOING PROJECTS

Project Rise collaborated with the Watershed Organisation Trust (WOTR) to install handpumps in 12 water-stressed villages in Maharashtra, which are home to 800 families and approximately 4,500 people.

This initiative is part of a broader effort spanning four states – Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana and Rajasthan – where a total of 40 hand pumps are bringing relief to local communities experiencing water scarcity.

Plastic pollution, ecosystem degradation and climate change are among the most urgent environmental challenges of our time. Recognising this, Project Rise launched the global initiative “Turning the Tide Against Plastic Pollution” in 2018, mobilising community members across India and abroad to clean water bodies, beaches and rivers, promote the circular economy, and build environmental awareness. 

With the aim to restore native ecosystems, protect endangered wildlife, and foster environmental conservation among the community members, especially youth, we launched a 3 year partnership with Matuku Link, one of West Auckland’s most significant wetland conservation projects.

Recognizing that rapid urbanization is diminishing the green cover in our cities, we have launched Oxy Park, an ambitious environmental initiative designed to act as the "green lungs" for the community. In a strategic partnership with the Catch Foundation, we are transforming a 1-acre plot in Nagpur into a dense, self-sustaining urban forest comprising over 5,000 trees.

To address this concern, we have partnered with Midland Metropolitan University Hospital in Birmingham to establish a state-of-the-art sensory room and a mobile sensory unit designed to support young patients with disabilities, autism, sensory processing differences, and developmental delays.
