Sadhana Forest is an international water conservation and reforestation organization active in India, Haiti, Kenya and Namibia. We are  donation-based volunteer-run and we welcome volunteers year round. 

Sadhana Forest works on restoring degraded ecosystems and ensuring food security through indigenous food forestry in rural and arid lands. We operate from sustainable off-the-grid campuses where we house our volunteers, conduct trainings and practice a simple, substance-free, vegan community lifestyle, complete with solar energy, compost toilets, biodegradable toiletries, zero waste practices and natural construction.

Volunteers and visitors are welcome year round. Volunteers engage in seva (selfless service) for about 25-35 hours a week. The seva consists of reforestation and water conservation work, as well as general maintenance tasks and supporting our other projects such as our ‘Goshala’ farm sanctuary, our gift economy vegan tea hut, ‘Children’s Land’ natural learning space and ‘UniverCity of Compassion’ self-directed learning course.

We always have plenty of space for volunteers, and welcome anyone regardless of their background. You do not need prior experience to be part of Sadhana Forest. Accomodation is provided free of charge. Volunteers pay around 8 USD per day as food contribution for their wholefood and plant-based meals.

The work of Sadhana Forest is made possible only through people gifting us their time or resources. If you wish to support us financially, please visit http://sadhanaforest.org/donate.

May there be many more forests to grow people.
