A tree can be
Planting a billion trees can help us curb the effects of climate change.
It’s a big number, but we know we can achieve it—with your help.
Our Mission
At Roots and Rise Foundation, we see every tree as a promise of hope and healing. Our mission is to heal the earth—one sapling at a time—by restoring green spaces, revitalizing biodiversity, and inspiring a sustainable way of life.
We are committed to planting trees in both urban and rural areas, protecting them through consistent care and maintenance, and building a movement rooted in community participation. By engaging local volunteers and eco-conscious citizens, we strive to fight climate change, restore balance to our environment, and nurture a thriving planet for the generations yet to come.
Every tree you plant or adopt through us isn’t just greenery—it’s a living memory, a stand for nature, and a step toward a greener tomorrow.

Donation & Stories
Our main philosophy is not just to plant trees, but to maintain them for at least 2 years so that they become self-sufficient. In a tree’s journey of growth, just 10% of the time, efforts and money goes to plantation and 90% go to the maintenance work which involves the following:
Composting
Composting provides plants with rich nutrients, reducing the need for frequent manure applications.
Mulching
Mulching shields saplings, conserves moisture, reduces weeds, and keeps soil cool and healthy.
Watering
Each sapling needs watering at least twice weekly for healthy growth over three years.
Protection
We use 5-layer fencing to guard saplings from animals, people, and ensure safe growth.
Manpower Costs
Trained experts ensure sapling care, monitor soil, and guide trees to maturity over three years.

What people think about Us?
"I always wanted to contribute to the environment by planting trees, but my hectic schedule left me with little time to care for them. One day, I came across the Roots and Rise Foundation and discovered that they not only plant trees on your behalf but also nurture them for two years. That immediately caught my interest. I decided to plant 25 trees through them in Varanasi, and it feels amazing to be part of something meaningful without worrying about the logistics."
"What sets Roots and Rise Foundation apart is their commitment after the plantation. While many organizations just plant the saplings and move on, Roots and Rise actually nurture each plant for two full years. I receive quarterly updates with photos and progress reports—it’s truly heartwarming to watch the trees grow over time. It feels less like a donation and more like a shared journey with nature."
"I’ve always believed that small steps lead to big changes. Supporting Roots and Rise Foundation gave me the opportunity to make a difference in a very real way. They make tree plantation easy, transparent, and impactful. Seeing the updates and growth of the saplings I contributed to gives me a deep sense of joy and responsibility toward nature."
"Roots and Rise Foundation is doing what most of us dream of but never get the time or resources to do. Their work goes beyond plantation—it’s about building a greener future. I joined their mission last year and have since contributed to planting 50 trees. Their commitment and follow-up care are truly commendable."
