Atma Foundation

Atma Foundation empowers communities by providing them with the tools, materials and education to thrive within their own environments using their own resources. We strive to connect global communities through education and awareness by providing sustainable techniques that promote integrity and self-progress.

Rather than defining poverty in terms of income only, social capital has also become an important factor. The defination we work from is Poverty is equal to social inferiority, isolation, physical weakness, vulnerability, powerlessness, and humiliation. Social capital is about nullifying these things and giving back to a person or community their sense of self, their sense of pride, and their sense of belonging. This is the kind of work that the Atma Foundation focuses upon.

We believe that education is a profound sustainable solution to the growth of ALL societies. Our stamps program provides small tools (pencils, books and other school supplies) that will not only educate school-aged children around the world, but also enable them to prosper.

We believe in bringing economic independence to women, using culturally appropriate techniques and real-world help that works on the ground, not just on paper. Our efforts to help build sustainability in Africa have been very promising - our fields are growing and being harvested, chickens are laying eggs, and goats are producing milk.

Atma Foundation invests in people and solutions, both locally and globally that support equality for all humanity.
