In its most recent campaign, volunteers cleaned the Karapakkam Karyam Pond, for the second phase of the project, on 14 October.  Volunteers from IIT Madras and Lioness Club Moksha joined the group.

The organization aims to not just clean ponds, but also work towards treating polluted water, desilting of ponds, education, awareness, and tree plantation.
