Our Impact

Turning Environmental
Challenges into Solutions

See how GreenThumb is transforming landscapes and lives. From removing tons of silt to planting forests, our mission is tangible and measurable.

Dam Desilting

Restoring water capacity by removing silt, directly securing the region's water future.

Community Action

Mobilizing thousands of volunteers to participate in large-scale environmental conservation.

Planting native species and creating habitats to boost local biodiversity.

Why Your Support Matters Now

The Race Against the Rain

We have a limited window to clear the silt before the monsoons fill the dam. Once the rains start, our opportunity to desilt closes for the year.

Working Season

January - May

Optimal dry conditions for silt removal

Monsoon Period

June - December

Operations halt due to heavy rains

Critical Window

Act Now

Every delayed day is lost capacity

The Power of Your Donation

A simple equation for a sustainable future.
