Amma is a visionary humanitarian and spiritual leader who has personally embraced more than 33 million people across six continents.

Each of Embracing the World's projects has been launched to help the world's poor who have come to unburden their hearts and cry on Amma's shoulder. That's where we come in, and you can, too. Receiving Amma's embrace, many feel inspired and want to give something back.
