Philanthropy
How does my purchase help the community?
Purchasing goods through the Akasha Yoga Pieces site promotes a healthy economy and generates a steady income within the communities we align ourselves with.
In San Marcos Lake Lagoona, approximately 75% of a low-income earners’ wage is allocated to the purchasing of firewood and corn. That leaves little else for necessities such as fresh fruit and vegetables, health care etc. As a result, many families are malnourished, have poor health and lack formal education. UNICEF released a report in December 2014, ranking Guatemala number five in the world’s most malnourished countries.
For every Akasha yoga mat strap sold, Akasha will donate 10% of profits to Konojel Community Centre, an incredible organisation very close to our hearts. Their mission is to address chronic malnutrition in San Marcos La Laguna by providing a hearty vegetarian meal every weekday to 60 of the most at-risk individuals in the community – most of whom are children. In addition to these meals, they also provide nutrition workshops and daily education enrichment programs for children.
