We replace wooden pencils with recycled paper pencils, reducing deforestation, cutting landfill waste, and creating livelihood Adopt A Pencil Educational Trust, founded in 2020 in Delhi, is a social impact organisation creating a sustainable and inclusive learning ecosystem. We work across Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh at the intersection of environment, education, and employment. O
ur mission is to replace wooden pencils with recycled paper pencils, reducing deforestation, cutting landfill waste, and creating dignified livelihoods for underprivileged families. We collect waste paper from schools, colleges, departments, and residential societies, recycle it into eco-friendly pencils, and freely distribute them to students—making learning affordable, accessible, and planet-friendly. This saves thousands of trees and prevents tonnes of waste from landfills. Our production process offers home-based work to women and men from low-income backgrounds, giving them steady income. We also run environmental education programs, sustainability workshops, and tree plantation drives.
