Seva Foundation fundraiser Update
2022-2024 fundrAIser Goal $10,000
as of September 2023 we have raised over $8,000!
I am offering my public classes for free with the intent to entice our community to donate to my Yoga Medicine Seva Foundation Fundraiser.
Yoga Medicine’s Seva Foundation works with Her Future Coalition and Rescue Foundation India, two NGOs based in India, to protect and empower those who are caught in the vicious cycle of human trafficking and sex slavery. By partnering with NGOs who operate on the ground, we are able to direct funds to exactly where it is needed the most - to the women and children rescued from modern slavery.
Where your donations go
Our dollars go directly to those in need and they go a long way:
$200 provides materials for one to join a therapeutic arts or entrepreneurship workshop
$240 feed one woman or child for a year
$400 rescues one woman or child from slavery
$750 Care and protection services for one girl for one year
$900 training stipend for a woman for one month
