Global catalysts
Serving as a catalyst in bringing responsible likeminded individuals, environmental activists and organizations together, the essence of MEGA Foundation's initiatives include #deltasaplingchallenge where over a lakh saplings were distributed to farmers in the Cauvery Delta Region, #bouncebackdelta where around 100 villages in the said delta were rehabilitated, followed by desilting of lakes and afforestation activities with the plantation of over four lakh saplings to create sustainable forests. The team is currently working on a major afforestation drive in Bengaluru, Karnataka, where, with a unique technique, plants from across the globe are being introduced and planted in these urban forest set-ups to be followed by Mumbai, New Delhi and Rajasthan among others.
MEGA Foundation also works closely with government schools in Thanjavur and Pudukkottai districts in Tamil Nadu and has adopted a school to enable English medium and computer education. The foundation also supports institutions for the hearing and visually impaired.
Other laudable initiatives include animal rescue through Pawsitive Farm Sanctuary, that has opened its doors to over 111 cats and dogs. Now, Pawsitive Farm Sanctuary, under the aegis of MEGA Foundation is in the process of adding on land to graduate from being a small home to a haven, a sanctuary for every animal in need of a helping hand. Besides old, maimed, abandoned and amputated cattle that will be houses in a Gaushala, there will be ample space for donkeys and horses to graze and live in happiness. The foundation also plans to expand to wild animal rescue and rehabilitation in the future.
Considering the ill effects of plastic on the environment, the foundation has also been affiliated with activities around the single-use plastic ban and creating awareness of the impact of plastic waste on wildlife and the oceans. The foundation has also undertaken the arduous task of planting over five lakh native trees adapting the Miyawaki technique to create a much-needed oxygen belt through urban forestation in Mumbai followed by Maharashtra.
MEGA Foundation is also known for its support in issues of senior citizen safety, rehabilitating acid attack victims, working for gender equality, LGBTQ empowerment, welfare of street children, inspiring the differently abled to achieve their full potential, filmmaking with a cause and youth life coaching among many others.
