Mission
​
The Regeneration Generation Initiative, a project of the Shakti Regeneration Institute (a 501(c)3 nonprofit), is dedicated to ecosystem preservation and regeneration, with a strong focus on empowering Indigenous peoples and women worldwide. Guided by six key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals—climate action, peace, justice and strong institutions, quality education, reduced inequalities, life on land, and partnerships for the goals—we strive to address the urgent environmental and social crises of our time. Through powerful collaborations with leaders across creative industries, entertainment, science, technology, finance, storytelling, art, and social movements, we seek to inspire and mobilize global action for a sustainable and just future.
​
Vision
​
Our vision is to awaken public consciousness, shift cultural attitudes, and inspire transformative action through impactful art, education, advocacy, and innovation. By empowering Indigenous-led and women-led regeneration, we foster transformative influence and catalyze social movements, working together to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable world.
​
Overview
​
With over 2 billion impressions worldwide from our multimedia campaigns—spanning images, films, and public service announcements that inspire positive change—our foundation has also directly supported the education of more than 8,000 students. Founded in 1994 as Shakti Empowerment Education (SEEschool.org), we operate from offices in Virginia, USA; Acre, Brazil; and West Bengal, India. We are recognized for our pioneering work in regenerative, equality-focused empowerment through literacy and neurodiversity education, vocational training, micro-financing, homeopathic medicine, anti-trafficking efforts, and frontline community support for low-income women, children, and marginalized and Indigenous communities.​
