“When a destitute mother starts earning an income, her dreams of success invariably center around her children. A woman’s second priority is the household. She wants to buy utensils, build a stronger roof, or find a bed for herself and her family. A man has an entirely different set of priorities…”
(From Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty)
We are excited for you to join this year’s Annual Global Gala on Saturday, November 13th from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. PST.
—-A DAY OF INSPIRATION, MINDFULNESS & YOGA.
Our Gala is like no other, an exciting opportunity for all Yoga Gives Back’s global supporters to come together in giving back, with a full day of inspiring programs led by YGB’s Global Ambassadors and Supporters.
India’s inequality and unemployment are at record high due to the effects of the prolonged pandemic. We cannot sit back and enjoy the benefits of YOGA for ourselves, only. Friends, let us take our YOGA beyond our mats, together!
Registration is free; donate what you can.
MEET Prof. YUNUS LIVE!
