Embracing the World is a global network of regional humanitarian organizations inspired by Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, who is lovingingly known as Amma. We exist to help alleviate the burden of the world’s poor through helping to meet each of their five basic needs - food, shelter, healthcare, education, and livelihood - wherever and whenever possible. We are especially focused on helping to meet these needs in the aftermath of major disasters.
Augmenting these efforts, we work in the fields of environmental conservation and sustainability to help protect the future of our fragile planet. And through Amrita University, our researchers are innovating new means of delivery of goods, knowledge, information, energy, and healthcare so that we can get help to those in need here and now, wherever they are.
