Soil Displacement
1 grown tree prevents 15,000 litre of water from washing away. Forest directly improves ground water recharge of city.

Project Media
From people around the area
My interaction with CATCH foundation started long back in 2019 when Bharat Bhai and his team came to our society for an awareness programme and we all family members had attended the 1/2 hour meeting. Something really connected with in our entire family and we immediately started volunteering for the NGO. Fastforward 2023 we together have achieved various milestone for the foundation and it has become a part of our daily routine. I wish catch foundation team a very successful years ahead and keep adding value to the society.
