Mission
We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit committed to empowering marginalized girls, women, and Indigenous communities through ecosystem regeneration worldwide. Our work centers on six key UN Sustainable Development Goals: climate action; peace, justice, and strong institutions; quality education; reduced inequalities; life on land; and partnerships for the goals. By leveraging the power of partnerships, creative influencers, nature, science, technology, storytelling, art, film, financial systems, and social movement marketing, we catalyze global action to address critical environmental and social challenges.
Vision
Empowering Indigenous-led and women-led regeneration, our vision is awakening public consciousness, shifting cultural attitudes, and transforming behavior through impactful art, innovation, education, advocacy, and partnerships. We build transformative influence and mobilize social movements to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable world.
Organization
Founded in 1994 as a global nonprofit, we are based in Virginia, USA; Acre, Brazil; and West Bengal, India, operating through the Shakti Empowerment Education Foundation (SEEschool) and Ramakrishna Vidyapith. Our foundation has supported the education of over 8,000 students and inspired millions worldwide, achieving over 2 billion impressions through multimedia campaigns, films, and public service announcements. We focus on regenerative, equality-based empowerment, ecosystem preservation, and neurodiversity education, offering vocational training, micro-financing, homeopathic healthcare, anti-trafficking initiatives, and frontline community support for low-income women, children, and marginalized and Indigenous communities.
Recognitions
Our work has been recognized by esteemed organizations worldwide, including the United Nations with a 2018 Women’s Entrepreneurship Distinguished Fellowship, and at the Global People's Summit and Science Summit (Digital Democracy for Climate Action). We have received the 2019 Max Mark-Cranbrook Global Peacemakers Award from Rotary International and the Center for Peace and Justice, CNN Exposé's Best Picture Award, and the Tribeca Film Festival’s 2019 Disruptive Innovation Award. Our achievements have been highlighted at Harvard University's Kennedy School Carr Center’s Pride & Progress Symposium, Princeton University’s The Art of Social Justice, as X-PRIZE Rainforest Semifinalists (2023, ACTNOW Amazonas Team), and at COP and the World Economic Forum in Davos.
