Nourishing the World in Body, Mind and Spirit
“Only love and Compassion can heal the world and end poverty at all levels”Pārvatī
At Gift the World we target poverty at its root by touching the heart of what it means to be human.
Our world is starving on many levels. 47% live on less than £5 a day. Hundreds of millions live in destitution, without homes, safety, adequate food, or medical care. But the lack driving this is not simply financial. There is enough food to end hunger several times over and enough space to shelter everyone. We must look deeper. Underlying the ravages of outer poverty is an inner poverty that is silently creeping to pandemic levels.
What is inner poverty?
What is inner poverty? It is a state of disconnection from who we truly are. It leaves us languishing in apathy without a sense of purpose, value, or fulfilment even if material needs are met. Inner poverty is the greatest humanitarian emergency of our age. There is no lasting remedy to food shortages, war, or ecological crisis without addressing this fundamental issue.
