Through Amma’s main ashram, and its branch centers, Embracing the World feeds more than 10 million poor people every year throughout India. We’ve been fighting hunger in this way for more than 25 years. In the first six months after the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, we provided more than six million free meals to disaster survivors, as well as more than 185 tons of uncooked rice to help the survivors make ends meet.
We also regularly distribute rice, milk and other uncooked staple foods to remote tribal communities who do not receive aid from any other organization. Along with food distribution, our centers often provide free, specialized medical services. All treatment and medicines are provided free of charge.
Since 1996, we’ve been feeding hungry people across North America. Mother’s Kitchen groups in 50 cities prepare, cook and serve 150,000 meals for the homeless and hungry each year. Some groups also collect and distribute clothing, household items or food staples for communities in need. In the Bay Area, the Amma’s Pantry initiative, launched in 2013, has collected 11,347 lbs of food – the equivalent of 9,078 meals – for distribution to local food kitchens, food pantries, and directly into local communities.

In 1997, responding to cries for help from women who spent entire nights mopping rainwater out of their thatched huts, Amma initiated a house-building project throughout India. Today, more than 47,000 homes have been built in over 75 locations, including villages, urban slums, and communities where people lost their dwellings after natural disasters. With an average of six people living in each of our houses, that means we’ve helped more than a quarter of a million people move from the streets or inadequate shelters into the safety and comfort of their very own home.
More than constructing houses, Embracing the World works to build entire communities, complete with town halls, roads, electricity, wells, sewage systems and clean drinking water. As part of our response to the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, homes have also been constructed in Sri Lanka and Andaman Island.
