“Everyone in the world should be able to sleep without fear, at least for one night.
Everyone should be able to eat to his fill, at least for one day. There should be at least
one day when hospitals see no one admitted due to violence. By doing selfless service
for at least one day, everyone should help the poor and needy. It is Amma’s prayer
that at least this small dream be realised.”– Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi

We are especially focused on helping to meet these needs in the aftermath of major disasters.
Amrita Serve
Project Vision: – To empower villagers to live in a prosperous village—where
people are educated and healthy, and lead a life of dignity in a clean and pollutionfree
environment; where everyone’s basic needs of life such as food, water,
clothing, housing and employment are met; where there is harmony between man
and nature; and where there is a self-reliant and vibrant culture rooted in India’s
age-old traditional wisdom.
“There is more to society and life than the bright lights of big cities.
Unfortunately, we forget this. There are also rural villages and agricultural
communities. It is the people living there who produce the fruit, vegetables and
grain that feed the entire world. Without them, how can we continue to exist?”
– Amma

AYUDH
Founded in India in 1985, AYUDH empowers young people to integrate universal
values into their daily lives. Starting with themselves, the goal is to establish a
future of hope, peace and social engagement. Today, our international youth
movement is active in more than 40 countries across Asia, Europe, North
America, South America, Australia and Africa.
It is based on Amma’s teaching that we are not isolated islands, but are linked to
each other like the rings of a chain; that our lives are not meant to be lived only
for ourselves. Amma says that instead, we need to set aside some time to make a
difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
