Ahimsa International Foundation

Asian Intercultural School Bali, established in 2007, under the aegis of Yayasan Ahimsa International, a foundation dedicated to propagating the Gandhian philosophy of Ahimsa. The word ‘ahimsa’, literally means non-violence. However, the term has broader implications since it denounces all forms of violence and embraces values such as peace, independence, and self-reliance. The term in a spiritual nuance suggests a way of life that is sustainable and green.

The Ahimsa International Foundation is dedicated to the dissemination of the philosophy of Ahimsa. The Foundation constantly endeavours to reach out to the public through its consciousness-raising programmes, besides lending a helping hand to the less fortunate people among us through its various charitable activities. Some of the projects undertaken by the Foundation in the last two years include:

• Adopting schools in the impoverished regions of Bali.
• Sponsoring the education of poor children.
• Sponsoring the education of orphans.
• Offering medical help to the needy.
• Organising public awareness programmes.
