A Living Memorial Sanctuary

This project is designed to become a global remembrance movement: one tree planted for every Iranian who paid the price for freedom.

In every city and town where Iranians live, we aim to create a small green sanctuary — a place of trees, dignity, silence, and memory. These corners will stand as living memorials for the victims of the 8th and 9th of January massacre, a national wound the world still knows far too little about.

This is not only a tree-planting project. It is a way to make remembrance visible. It is a peaceful act of awareness, rooted in the Free World and reaching toward Iran's future.

Each sanctuary can begin small: a corner in a park, a line of trees, a community garden, a university space, a memorial grove, or even a symbolic planting in cooperation with local municipalities, associations, schools, and Iranian communities abroad. Every tree will be counted as part of the larger global memorial.

The goal is simple: 50,000 trees across the world.
One by one. City by city. Community by community.

These trees will carry a message: Iran remembers. The free world must know. And those who paid the price for freedom will not disappear into silence.

We are looking for people who can help organize this project in their own cities.

You can help by:

• finding suitable public or private spaces
• speaking with municipalities, parks, schools, or local organizations
• gathering volunteers
• coordinating planting days
• helping document and count each tree
• connecting us with environmental groups, Iranian communities, or local partners
• helping turn a small corner into a lasting sanctuary of remembrance

If you can help bring this memorial sanctuary to your city, we want to hear from you.

Reach out to the Derafsh Kaviani Foundation and tell us where you are, what city you can help with, and what kind of support or connection you can offer.

Together, we can turn memory into something alive.
A tree. A sanctuary. A witness. A future.
