AOLHET and the Art of Living are separate organizations that partner on some issues. Both organizations were founded by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
The Art of Living Health and Education Trust (AOLHET) is a 501(c)3 U.S.-based, non-profit organization, incorporated in 2008, and based in the United States. The Trust was created to fund programs that foster, promote, and support quality healthcare and value-integrated education around the world.
Founded in 1981, the Art of Living Foundation is an educational and humanitarian organization that fosters stress management and service initiatives.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is not a board member. He is the inspiration for the Art of Living Health and Education Trust. A leading figure in human development and social transformation, Sri Sri is a multifaceted social activist whose initiatives include conflict resolution, disaster and trauma relief, prisoner rehabilitation programs, youth leadership, women’s empowerment, campaigns against female feticide and child labor, and universal education. He is also working in Kashmir and Sri Lanka to further dialogue between opposing parties and resolve conflicts peacefully.
Sri Sri travels to more than 40 countries a year to share his message that all of the great spiritual traditions share common goals and values. His teachings of love, practical wisdom, and service promote harmony among people, and encourage individuals to follow their chosen spiritual path while respecting the paths of others.
As a small non-profit with limited staff, AOLHET incurs very few administrative and overhead costs. We guarantee an efficient and proper use of your donations, and that they will go toward the projects we support. Your donations will not only help the immediate needs of our partners, but they will also help grow future leaders of tomorrow.
