Putting climate action within reach for the Global South.
ROAR Foundation helps communities across the Global South access the climate finance, knowledge and support they need to act.
A youth-led, non-profit movement connecting people to the resources our planet already promises them.
What ROAR stands for
Our name is our method
Resources
The funding and tools to act
Opportunities
Knowledge and pathways that open doors
Action
Turning ambition into real change
Resilience
Communities built to last
A global, youth-led movement advancing climate resilience and sustainable development.
Across the Global South, the climate finance meant for communities is scattered, complex and hard to reach, so much of it never arrives. ROAR Foundation exists to close that gap.
We pair the energy of a new generation with the tools, knowledge and connections to turn climate ambition into real action, helping communities, institutions and governments access the finance, knowledge and support they need.
Founded in 2026 and registered as a non-profit in India, ROAR works globally, with a focus on the communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.
Our Vision
A world where every community, whatever its geography or income, can reach the resources it needs to build a climate-resilient, sustainable future.
Four ways we turn climate intent into resilience.
ROAR works across the whole journey, from finding finance to building lasting community capacity.
Climate finance access
Through VerdaNet, we make scattered climate funds and grants findable and navigable, so support reaches communities.
Education & capacity-building
ROAR Academy equips young leaders and communities with practical climate and finance knowledge to act with confidence.
Community resilience
On-the-ground pilots, from heat-resilient housing to clean energy, that demonstrate what works for real communities.
Research & advocacy
Evidence and storytelling that put Global South communities at the centre of the climate conversation.
VerdaNet is the ROAR flagship. It connects communities to climate finance.
ROAR is the parent movement; VerdaNet is one thing we do, built to make climate finance reachable.
Connecting communities to climate finance.
VerdaNet brings scattered funds, grants and eligibility criteria into one place, so finding and accessing support becomes simple and clear.
It is an information and knowledge platform, not a financial service.
There is a place for you in this movement.
Wherever you are and whatever your skills, there is a clear way to help climate resilience reach the Global South.
