Children’s Land was created in 2009, inspired by TiNi (Tierra de Niños / Children’s Land), an initiative born in Peru through the organization ANIA. Sadhana Forest dedicated 2.7 acres of land to local children from Auroville and surrounding villages to learn about ecology, sustainability, and compassion through direct experience.

The children built a learning hut, planted trees, tended gardens, and created a playground from recycled materials. Workshops on forest ecology, sustainable gardening, renewable energy, music, and art connect them with experts and volunteers who share their knowledge in simple, experiential ways.
