Making The Difference – NGO is a registered charitable trust committed to creating sustainable impact through environment conservation, education, healthcare, and livelihood projects. Established in 2015, our organization has worked across urban and rural areas of Maharashtra, with a strong focus on green initiatives that address climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss.

One of our core interventions is large-scale tree plantation and restoration of green cover. We implement both conventional and Miyawaki plantation methods to improve soil health, groundwater recharge, carbon absorption, and air quality. Our plantations involve native species and are supported by drip irrigation, ego-tagging, and a 2-year maintenance plan to ensure survival and long-term impact.

We also conduct awareness drives, school and community engagement, and collaborate with municipal bodies and corporate CSR partners for sustained environmental stewardship. Till date, we have planted over 65000+ trees across multiple districts.

Your support can help us scale our green mission and combat climate change more effectively. Every contribution will go toward saplings, plantation material, labor, and maintenance – building a greener, healthier tomorrow.

Appeal

Support Our Mission – Plant Trees, Restore Nature

We invite you to join hands with Making The Difference – NGO in our green initiative to plant 50,000 native trees across Maharashtra. This plantation drive aims to restore degraded land, increase biodiversity, improve air quality, and build climate resilience in both rural and urban areas.

The funds raised will be used for sapling procurement, soil preparation, pit digging, plantation by trained labor, and setting up irrigation systems to ensure tree survival. We also commit to a 2-year maintenance plan, including regular watering, protection from grazing, and monitoring survival through geo-tagging and field visits.

Additionally, the campaign includes community participation, school awareness drives, and educational signage to build environmental responsibility among citizens. All plantations will be carried out on verified land in collaboration with local authorities to ensure long-term sustainability.

Your contribution will help us grow healthy, thriving green zones that benefit generations to come. Every tree you support is a step toward cleaner air, better climate, and a greener planet.

Let’s plant hope together. Be a part of this movement.

Project DescriptionIn India, the Menstruation issue revolves around inadequate awareness, adaptation, and access to hygienic menstrual products among a significant female population. A critical concern lies in the deficient knowledge and awareness about menstruation among girls, with a study revealing that 71% are unaware before their first period. This ignorance leads to shame, fear, and distress during their initial menstruation experience. Unfortunately, mothers and extended family members often contribute to this dilemma, as 70% view menstruation as "unclean," perpetuating taboos. Moreover, girls lack consistent access to preferred, quality menstrual hygiene management (MHM) products. Consequently, about 88% resort to unsanitary alternatives like old cloth, rags, hay, sand, or ash.
