Together we can make this world a better place!

Daily, we are bombarded with news that carry the shock value of the most recent conflict. As soon as a new conflict emerges, our attention gets drawn there and we forget about the previous. Colonialism, different forms of slavery, war and genocide leave many scars, and young people who are deeply affected by direct or transgenerational trauma, find themselves crippled in their life choices.

At AZAHAR, we focus on rebuilding lives through the healing practices of yoga and the arts, to provide professional training and to support dignified livelihoods through our centers and partnerships in the NGO and corporate sector.

For 2024/25, we are planning on:

Cambodia: expanding on our outreach into provinces and a 2-year curriculum in professional training for Yoga, Dance and supporting methodologies to build a peaceful society.

Rwanda: expansion of free community classes at AZAHAR's Community Hub and in various NGOs working with young people and genocide survivors.

Ukraine: a retreat to provide tools for Ukrainian yoga teachers who are facing war, exile and heavy trauma within their student bodies.

Together we can make this world a better place!

With Love, Light & Gratitude,
Yogeswari

AZAHAR Foundation is an organization that holds a special place in my heart. My involvement with AZAHAR has given me a unique opportunity to witness the profound impact of their work on communities grappling with the aftermath of conflict and trauma. AZAHAR Foundation is not just about providing support; it's about enhancing and unlocking the existing potential within individuals and communities. Through their dedication to peacebuilding, economic empowerment, and healing through yoga and the arts, they are nurturing resilience, creativity, and hope. My donation is a reflection of my deep belief in their mission and the transformative power of their programs. I am proud to support AZAHAR Foundation in its endeavors to create a world that is not only more peaceful but also empowered to realize its full potential. If you're moved by the idea of fostering peace and unlocking potential, I encourage you to explore AZAHAR Foundation's work and consider making a donation. Together, we can contribute to a future that is brimming with possibilities and healing. 🌺✨
