About Us
We are an international humanitarian charity and NGO that exists to see a world free from hunger and poverty at all levels, beginning with eliminating extreme poverty by 2050. We nourish the world in body, mind, and spirit through the distribution of humanitarian aid, inspiring content, and the creation of wellness centres, education programs, and more. Our approach is founded in interconnection. In this understanding, every thought, word and deed affects not only our own lives but the trajectory of the world. If disconnection has downward spirals, interconnection creates upward ones. It cools the mind and warms the heart, awakening a desire to live in kindness, compassion, and awareness of the long-term good, which leads to actions rooted in service and benefit to the whole.
