Our vision is awakening public consciousness, shifting cultural attitudes, and transforming behavior through impactful art, education, advocacy, and innovation. Empowering Indigenous-led and women-led regeneration, we build transformative influence and mobilize social movements to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable world.
Overview
With over 2 billion impressions of our multimedia images, films, and public service announcements worldwide inspiring positive change, our foundation has also directly supported over 8,000 students' education. With offices in Virginia, USA, Acre, Brazil, and West Bengal, India, we were founded in 1994, as Shakti Empowerment Education (SEEschool.org). We are best known for providing regenerative equality-based empowerment, literacy, and neurodiversity education, vocational training, micro-financing, homeopathic medicine, anti-trafficking, and frontline community support for low-income women, children, marginalized and Indigenous communities.

Updates
​
Thanks to your support, students are back at school after COVID19. The pandemic disproportionately afflicted the lowest-income women and children, with increased threats of food insecurity, child marriage, domestic violence, and child trafficking, so we continue to provide essential community support.
Recognizing we all face a threat far greater than the pandemic - ecosystems collapse and climate crisis - we have expanded into Shakti Regeneration Institute (SRI) with advanced initiatives to protect ecosystems and Indigenous forest protectors preserving climate, biodiversity, and life on our planet. Join us, Be The Regeneration Generation.
