"Service is the expression of joy and love. Ask yourself 'How can I be useful
to those around me and to the whole world?' Then your heart starts
to blossom and a completely new level begins" Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Service is the natural expression of love and caring.

All over the world, the Art of Living Foundation, in partnership with its sister organisation, the International Association of Human Values (IAHV), implements outreach and community service projects through the 5 H Programme.

which stands for Health, Hygiene, Homes, Human Values and Harmony in Diversity is making a difference to this world through service and spirituality. The aim of this program is to uplift individuals and communities so that they become self-reliant, both socially and economically.

5H works to:

• Raise standard of living in the world's most impoverished areas
• Educate on every level: mental, emotional, spiritual
• Create a grassroots model for progressive social change
• Give every human being a chance for a disease free body and a stress free mind
• Foster harmony in diversity and cultural tolerance

Projects include poverty reduction programmes in Africa and Asia, trauma therapy following the tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, the South Asia earthquake and the 9/11 attacks on New York City. Through the 5 H programme, we are committed to drawing diverse communities together into a one world family.
