Rain To Tap
Rain to Tap is our direct, proven response to the national water crisis, utilizing advanced, scalable filtration to provide immediate, safe water access for communities everywhere. By moving beyond simple groundwater recharge, we employ a superior 6-level, nature-mimicking filtration system that exceeds industry standards for purification and direct use. This dual-purpose infrastructure ensures immediate water security while stabilizing the long-term water table through a high-efficiency, multi-use sump design. Committed to professional execution, we provide CSR partners with verifiable, data-driven metrics on water saved and recharged, delivering state-of-the-art water assets with a validated track record of success.
Solar Energy Systems
At The Forward Foundation, we deploy solar energy systems to provide reliable, clean power wherever it can make a significant difference. Our pilot project in schools demonstrated how stable energy improves education by powering smart classes and computer labs without interruption. These systems are designed to be highly versatile, operating in three distinct modes to ensure maximum efficiency:
Mode 1: On-Grid Operation: The system powers the building’s current load and exports any excess solar energy back to the electricity grid, significantly reducing monthly power bills and carbon emissions.
Mode 2: UPS Backup: During power outages, the system automatically charges and utilizes a UPS to keep critical areas like computer labs, offices, and smart classrooms running for longer periods.
Mode 3: Essential Load Support: The system ensures that vital infrastructure, such as water pumps, security lighting, and essential gadgets, remains powered at all times.
Our final goal is to use this state-of-the-art technology to build energy independence and reduce environmental impact across various community needs
Tree Plantation
We focus on planting native Indian trees like Neem, Jamun, and Mango because they are naturally suited to our soil and climate. To ensure the best results, we only plant established, 3-year-old saplings that have the highest chance of survival. Our commitment goes beyond just planting; we provide three years of dedicated care,including watering and weeding,to make sure every tree grows strong. This approach helps restore local nature, bringing back birds and wildlife to the area.
Lake Rejuvenation
Our lake rejuvenation initiative focuses on transforming neglected water bodies into vibrant, self-sustaining natural assets. We specialize in restoring these lakes to act as critical buffers against climate change, providing both flood resilience during heavy rains and water security during periods of scarcity. This work goes beyond surface-level cleaning; we focus on high-visibility biodiversity enhancement and ecological restoration, creating healthy habitats that support local wildlife. By improving water storage and quality, we ensure these ecosystems can thrive long-term. Our final objective is to restore the natural capacity of these lakes while fostering deep community ownership, ensuring these water bodies are protected and maintained by the citizens who depend on them.
Community Engagement
At The Forward Foundation, our belief in sustainable impact is rooted in human action. Our projects are powered by active engagement activities that involve a diverse range of participants, from corporate employee volunteer teams to neighborhood citizen groups. This approach ensures that every solution we implement is locally managed and sustained over the long term. To foster this deep sense of community ownership, we host a wide variety of specialized programs, including expert-led sessions on urban biodiversity, ‘green skills’ reforestation workshops, and hands-on activities like plastic-free paper bag making. From sustainable art and awareness to restoration clean-up drives, our goal is to provide the knowledge and opportunities necessary for citizens to take an active role in protecting their environment. By turning community members into stakeholders, we ensure that infrastructure remains protected and cherished by the people it serves.
