FCL- An Evergreen Story and TERI Initiative


At 15, during stay-at-home pandemic days, teenage twin-sisters, Anya & Anvi Fenn, from their home in New Jersey founded a non-profit that integrates storytelling and climate action. Evergreen Story is a free storytelling platform with a sustainable heart. We are on a mission to record, preserve, and share humanity's stories and use the medium of storytelling to support the environment. We make every story count by planting a fruit tree with a needy farmer.

We published thousands of oral stories from across India and diaspora, and we hope to pay tribute to our common human spirit of perseverance and progress, while emphasizing kindness, respect, and dignity in our conversations.

Evergreen Story's founders, Anya & Anvi Fenn sponsor tree saplings from their own savings. In 2021 they sponsored 12,000 fruit tree saplings for farmers in India in honor of stories published. In 2022, they will sponsor 38,000 more fruit tree saplings. Click here to know more about us.
