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.
