Why this initiative of crowdsourcing?

The SeSTA Green Million campaign is a powerful step toward creating climate-resilient, biodiversity-rich, and economically empowering landscapes across Northeast India. At its heart, this initiative aims to plant and nurture one million trees through large-scale, community-led efforts that restore ecosystems, support sustainable incomes, and build long-term climate resilience.

How can I make a contribution under this initiative?

Contributing to the SeSTA’s Green Million is simple, impactful, and deeply personal. With just Rs. 30, you can help plant a tree that will grow to offer shade, fruit, livelihood, and climate hope for generations to come.

You can contribute by choosing from easy donation options on our website — whether it’s one sapling or a small forest!

Where does my money go?

Your contribution helps bring life back to the land — whether it’s a farmer’s backyard, a stretch of degraded forest, or a shared community plot.

Depending on where the trees are planted, your donation supports:

• On individual lands: Helping smallholder families plant fruit and timber trees that boost their income and food security.
• On community lands: Supporting women’s groups and youth collectives to green village commons, schools, and public spaces.
• On forest and degraded lands: Assisting with ecological restoration through native species, water conservation structures, and protection measures.

Why is SeSTA launching this campaign?

Planting trees contributes to environmental restoration, soil and water conservation, and long-term livelihood support (e.g., fruit-bearing trees). It also aligns with our vision of climate-resilient communities.

Who will take care of the trees after the plantation?

SeSTA will work with community-based organizations and Gram Sabhas to ensure tree maintenance. Capacity-building and regular monitoring will be part of the implementation strategy.

I am a foreign national? Can I make a contribution?

Thank you for your concern. However, we are only accepting funds from Indian accounts for now.
