Hearts
for Service

Gift the World was born from the compassion that feels the suffering in others as our own. The elderly man who loses his leg in a bombing and then dies in the rubble without access to medical care is our father, our brother. The 13-year-old girl who is raped on her way to getting water for her family and dies in childbirth is our sister, our daughter. We need to give the food, water, shelter, and care that allows them to live in safety. 

Our founder Pārvatī is a musician, author, and lifelong humanitarian with a deep commitment to serving a world in need. During years of dedicated meditation, she increasingly found herself hearing the cries of millions of children—first quietly, then with an urgency she could no longer ignore. Deeply moved, she asked: Where had human empathy, dignity, and compassion gone? And how could she help restore them?

It was then that she gathered together colleagues with expertise in production, finance, charity, communications, marketing and management and with hearts who resonated with the call to serve. She shared the visionary idea that came to her of a charity that would combine the best everyone had to offer and uplift humanity in all ways. It would provide aid in the form of transformative content as well as food for the hungry, warmth for the unsheltered, and medical care for those who need healing.

From music to books to guided meditation to digital experiences, we hope these offerings uplift your life as they do ours—with goosebump moments of beauty, inspiration, and the shared remembrance that together, we can help where it is most needed.
