The Neem Foundation has been on its singular neem mission for a decade now. It has been an interesting journey and a learning experience for all of us here at the Foundation.

It is time to announce the next World Neem Conference and invite formal bids.



NEEM 2005 is slated to be held in Africa. While the Secretariat gears up to finalize the next venue, Kenya, Senegal and Mauritius have already evinced interest in organizing the forthcoming Event. However, the final decision will be made by the Secretariat based on infrastructure, logistics and feasibility of the formal proposals.

As we receive the maximum queries on the business opportunities that Neem presents, we reproduce a presentation on commercialization aspects drawn up by the Ministry of Small Scale Industries, Govt. of India, for all those who have requested repeatedly for this information. The information is carefully compiled and based on a close and realistic study of the subject.

Thank You God you made Neem! Is the thankful cry of Ms. Veena Mani of Mumbai who sent us her story via e-mail. Her chance discovery of Neem's healing power in her own words. Even as this story was being readied for publication she followed it up with this message: "At this stage I would like to add some other facts: last week I visited Ajanta Caves, and I could climb those steps - almost 150 steps - yes I was sceptical and worried too, but I could manage to visit all the caves and almost for three hours I was on my feet - an amazing thing after my knee problem. Yes, there was a problem, on return journey I had some pain but it disappeared after I took some rest. Now I can say YES, I AM CURED OF MY AILMENT. THANKS TO NEEM. I still continue to take neem juice every morning now 50ml only. And I presume I will surely continue to take it - may be life long! "
