A one page description of We Speak For Earth!

The Voice of Earthlings



The first chapter of social science states, "Earth is our home". This home has an incredible story, of which you and I are part. Listen to us, please.

Who are we.
We Speak For Earth, a non-profit organization has been around the corner for about four years. Initially, established with the name YEAP!! (Youth Empowerment by Active Participation), we have worked and struggled hard for the betterment of our society in many small ways possible.

What do we do.
We are living in the 21st century. A time when we are getting broken images of the world surrounding us. What is happening? Why is the climate so rude? Why don’t we get rainfall, why we have scarcity of resources? There are numerous questions. Ironically, only one simple answer. We are on the verge of greatest disaster to human race and whole nature. We are facing man made Climate Crisis.
We were searching for the root cause for all this evil. We started undertaking talks and seminar to understand why people just don’t care about the one single planet (we call it home) they possess. We later found out the reason, it was indeed lack of education. We are pretty sure that if the way Earth is presented to kids nowadays, it won’t be long enough that we would submerge towards a society more selfish, more arrogant and more unrealistic.
We at WSFE are running a program called We Understand the Nature’. In this program, we essentially educate the younger generation towards a more steady and sustainable society, we call it ECO-LITERATE. We have been conducting this session way around the spell and have nearly covered more than 4,000 students. We have done this program in Pune, Dhule, Mumbai, Gujarat, Kolhapur, etc. Our program target audience stretching from VIIth standard to MBA (Post Graduation Level). Our volunteers are determined to make the current generation eco-sensitive.


What have we done so far.
In past four years on localized scale, we have done the following activities,

1.                    Planted 750 Neem and Gulmohar trees (90% survival rate).
2.                   Organized complete-computer Literacy camp for 52 orphan children.
3.                   Conducted social awareness classes for school students.
4.                  Organized cloth donation camp for village people, poor school children, orphans.
5.                   Aligned for blood donation camp on college level.
6.                  Provided free notebooks to children by recycling the old discarded.
7.     Conducted seminars in various schools to make the future generation aware of Global Warming and its ill effects, covering approximately 4,000 students.
