Climate action is often measured in hectares restored, trees planted or emissions reduced.

But its true impact is measured in something far greater.

It's about resilience — enabling communities to adapt, recover and thrive in the face of a changing climate.

It's about sustainability through restoring mangroves, conserving water, supporting agriculture and expanding access to clean energy.

It's about opportunity for women who build climate-resilient livelihoods and strengthen their families' futures.

And it's about dignity for a farmer who can harvest despite uncertain rainfall.

At Concern India Foundation, we believe climate action is not a single intervention. It is a journey of empowering communities to lead change, restore ecosystems and create lasting impact.

Because the strongest climate solutions don't begin with technology alone. They begin with people.

Since 2019, Concern India Foundation has been working towards restoring India’s mangrove ecosystems—not just by planting saplings, but by building a movement of conservation rooted in communities.

In Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh, CSR is supporting the current phase of this initiative, strengthening community participation and long-term mangrove protection.

As part of this effort, a Joint Mangrove Management (JMM) Committee was formed with 31 villagers (17 men and 14 women), with a dedicated 10-member committee taking forward conservation activities.

The team is also ensuring the survival of 15,000 mangrove seedlings through regular nursery maintenance and care.

Together, communities and partners are nurturing ecosystems that protect coastlines, support biodiversity and build climate resilience.

Because restoring mangroves is not just about growing trees—it is about growing guardians.

Through the support of DCB Bank Ltd., the Integrated Watershed Development Programme in Jalna is helping farming communities build sustainable livelihoods that complement long-term water conservation efforts.

Taramati Gadhave's journey is a testament to this impact. After receiving vermicomposting training, she began producing organic fertiliser worth nearly ₹20,000, creating a reliable source of additional income while reducing her dependence on costly chemical fertilisers. The shift has not only improved soil health and farming sustainability but has also inspired fellow farmers in her village to explore organic farming practices.

This is the broader vision of the Integrated Watershed Development Programme. Alongside watershed interventions that improve groundwater recharge and strengthen agricultural resilience, livelihood initiatives like vermicomposting empower communities with sustainable income opportunities. Together, these efforts are helping farming families become more self-reliant, reducing distress-driven seasonal migration, and creating a future where environmental sustainability and economic resilience go hand in hand.
By investing in both natural resources and rural livelihoods, we are enabling communities to build lasting resilience—strengthening not only the land but also the lives that depend on it.

In Muthupet, Tamil Nadu, families have long depended on the sea for survival, but the mangroves that once protected their coastline have been steadily disappearing.

Since 2019, Concern India Foundation has been restoring mangrove ecosystems across India's coastal belt; not just planting saplings, but rebuilding the relationship between communities and the coastline that sustains them.

In this phase, with the support of HSBC India, the initiative has brought ecological restoration and livelihood security to Veerankoil, Thambikottai Vadakadu and Tamarankottai South villages — at a scale that's changing what's possible for families here.

🌱 3,30,000 saplings raised in community-led nurseries
🌊 100 hectares of degraded mangrove wetlands restored

But restoring the coastline was only half the story. For families with no land of their own, resilience also meant creating new ways to earn. Alongside mangrove restoration, the project has helped build sustainable livelihoods that reduce the need to migrate in search of work.

It's not just a greener coastline; it's 2,700 families with a reason to stay, build and thrive where they already call home.

Together, we are helping communities restore nature while strengthening livelihoods for generations to come.

This , watch how restoration is rewriting the future for Muthupet's coastal communities.

We have lost more mangroves in the last 50 years than most ecosystems lose in a century, and almost no one noticed. Mangroves quietly hold coastlines together, nursing fish and crabs that feed entire communities and pulling carbon out of the air up to 4x more efficiently than rainforests.

What that really means: it's not just trees disappearing. It's the buffer between a coastal village and the next storm surge. It's the fish stock that entire fishing communities depend on. It's one less line of defence in a climate already turning against the most vulnerable first.

At Concern India, we believe protecting the ecosystems that hold communities together isn't separate from the work of building a resilient future. Every root system we protect today is a quiet act of protecting what comes next.

When Deelip enrolled in a skill development programme, most people saw another youth learning MS Office, spoken English and workplace skills.

We saw something bigger.

We saw a son determined to lift his family out of financial hardship.

Through Concern's 3-month Skill Development Programme, Deelip gained technical skills, confidence and interview readiness. Soon after completing the course, he secured a job as a Customer Care Executive at Nykaa, earning ₹12,000 a month.

For Deelip, this wasn't just employment.

It was dignity. Independence. Hope.

Every young person who receives the right opportunity has the potential to transform not only their own future, but their family's as well.

CSR partnerships don't just fund training programmes. They create pathways to livelihoods that last.

Partner with Concern India Foundation to help more young people build careers, confidence and brighter futures.

Since 2021, Concern India Foundation has been restoring India's coastal mangrove ecosystems, strengthening shorelines while supporting the livelihoods of coastal communities.

Building on this ongoing commitment, the mangrove restoration project supported by Corporate Social Responsibility continues to make steady progress across the coastal villages of Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh, with active participation from local communities.

This year, an additional 10 hectares of canal digging has been completed, building on the 30 hectares completed last year. Carefully designed by civil engineers, these canals ensure optimal water flow and connectivity, creating the right conditions for healthy mangrove growth.

At the same time, 15,000 mangrove seedlings raised last year are being carefully nurtured through regular nursery maintenance, water management and continuous monitoring, laying the foundation for stronger, healthier mangrove forests.

Every canal dug, every seedling protected and every community member involved brings us one step closer to restoring resilient coastlines, conserving biodiversity and securing a more sustainable future for both people and nature.

Every child's success begins with the opportunity to learn.

We are proud to share a milestone from Government High School, Ghouse Nagar, Bandlaguda, Hyderabad, where all 63 SSC students supported through Concern India Foundation's Interactive Flat Panel (IFP) academic support programme successfully passed their SSC Public Examinations, contributing to the school's 100% pass result.

In a heartfelt message, the Headmaster of the school acknowledged the collective efforts of the students, teachers, parents and the Concern India Foundation team, recognising the programme's role in strengthening learning outcomes, building confidence and supporting academic success.

This achievement is a reminder that meaningful partnerships and sustained support can create lasting impact in the lives of children.

Marsh India celebrated their Global Volunteering Month in May 2026; their employees across India came together to make a meaningful difference in the communities through a series of creative and engaging activities organised by Concern India Foundation.

From painting school walls in Mumbai and creating bird feeders in Hyderabad to glass bottle painting activities with children and community groups across Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore, over 260 volunteers dedicated their time, creativity and enthusiasm to support community engagement and environmental awareness.

These initiatives went beyond volunteering; they created opportunities for connection, learning and shared experiences, while reinforcing the power of collective action in building stronger communities.

For 50-year-old Salma from Delhi, poor health had become a way of life. Persistent weakness and low energy made even routine household chores difficult. With limited income, nutritious food often took a back seat to simply ensuring there was enough to eat.

When Salma was supported with regular nutrition-rich ration assistance and through regular health and nutrition awareness sessions, she discovered how small, affordable changes could have a lasting impact on her well-being.

She began incorporating simple nutritious foods in her daily diet, and replaced old habits with healthier ones. These were small changes, but their impact was significant.

Over the following months, Salma noticed her energy levels improved, everyday tasks became easier and most importantly, she developed the willingness to take charge of her own health.

Today, Salma’s story is a reminder that food security is about more than access to nutrition. It is also about empowering people with the knowledge to make informed choices that continue long after the support has ended.

Because sustainable change begins when awareness becomes action.
