Review for Mata Amritanandamayi Math, Kerala, , India

Rating: 5 stars  

Over the past 20 years I have spent a great deal of time in India. For the masses of the people, simple people living in rural areas and villages life if very real and clear. If the husband does not work the family does not eat. If he becomes permanently disabled, they are thrown into abject poverty. It is a difficult life where excuses are not allowed. Yet everyday, husbands do have accidents and do become disabled and the consequences affect the lives of family members for generations. To mitigate some of the suffering faced by such families, the Mata Amritanandamay Math established a pension plan the provides monthly benefits to 100,000 families. To me that is taking real action that directly impacts the lives of people.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Mata Amritanandamayi Math has built over 50,000 homes for homeless people, feeds 250,000 poor people monthly, operates a 1200 bed charitable hospital and gave $1.0 million to the Bush-Clinton Katrina. With $10 M it would continue to serve the worlds needy

Ways to make it better...
