Planting trees was the first step in the environmental program whereby children initially spent some time understanding the need for trees and their significance to life on earth and then making posters for an exhibition to promote the project. They then happily got their hands dirty in planting saplings which gave them the satisfaction of contributing to something worthwhile. Some 5,000 trees have been planted and cared for to date, with an amazing 85% survival rate.

With support from the local municipality and an International Aid Agency, FFLV full time employed workers set about putting in place two solid waste management initiatives (named Varahadev and Vishwas) which resulted in the removal of waste, cleaning up of streets, managing garbage dumps and recycling waste. As well as enhancing the natural beauty of the areas, the local communities now have more respect for the areas in which they live and consequently care for their environment in a better way.

The charity also has its own organic farm. Vegetables are grown and sold in order to generate more funds for the charity.
