Our Vision

The eCoexist Foundation promotes the evolution of environmental consciousness and helps build a society that is deeply connected to Nature.

For human beings to live a creative, happy and fulfilled life they need to experience and understand their place in the ecosystem and to find ways to live in harmony with the living and nonliving environment that sustains their life. In modern society, and in urban environments, this deep connection has been severely damaged and has isolated humanity from its natural origins.

The eCoexist foundation aims to help restore this feeling of interconnectedness, by making people conscious about their food, their lifestyle choices and their dependence on the animal world.

It aims to invoke love and respect for Nature in the human heart and by doing this, to build societies and environments that are healthy, prosperous, content and harmonious. It creates communities that are built on the sharing of resources, where a self aware population lives in interdependent and symbiotic relationships, sensitive to the underprivileged and challenged members of the community.It does this using all the creative human potential available, through arts, design and beauty, and with an attitude of service.

 

The vision of eCoexist Foundation is to build a generation of self aware individuals that are highly conscious of their place in and their obligations to, the Natural world.

 

 

Eco-Campaigns

The environmental crisis we are faced with today is reflective of the inner crisis humanity is going through because of our growing disconnect with Nature. This is most clearly evident in the way we manage our waste, in the chemicals that have overtaken our lives and in the new diseases emerging in modern society. eCoexist aims to raise awareness about several of these environmental issues through the campaigns we run. Along side with educating and informing people, we also help them to integrate change into their own lives and choices. 

Livelihoods

Since its inception, eCoexist has chosen to reach out to a wide range of underprivileged and challenged groups to create livelihoods for them through our eco products. We have worked with inmates at the Yerawada Prison in Pune, with women farmers in rural Karnataka and with special needs groups as well. Currently we are engaged with the women of the village of Ahwalwadi, Pune. 

 

 

Covid-19 Relief

eCoexist responded almost immediately to the Covid lockdown by training our womens group in Ahwalwadi to make reusable cotton masks. We supplied these masks to hospitals to the police force and to industries who were still operational. As the demand increased we brought together a collective of five other NGOS to pass on the requests for the masks. We also created Do It Yourself posters in nine Indian languages and translated videos on the importance of cloth masks into four languages to encourage people to wear masks to stay safe. This quick response enabled the women of Ahwalwadi to cope with the loss of their husbands jobs during the lock down.
