Africa remains the only continent where the vast majority of indigenous people do not know what classical yoga is and what the benefits of its practices are, as well as how other types of activities are connected to this ancient wisdom, such as the arts and other types of general knowledge.

In Africa we have been developing projects related to the propagation and teaching of yogic values and lifestyle for almost a decade, including music, dance and other general knowledge capable of generating social and environmental change.

Currently YPV does not have infrastructure in Africa where volunteer work is needed. If you want to help us, you can organize events to raise awareness about the actions that our organisation is developing or organize events to raise funds and thus help us continue expanding our projects.

Currently YPV does not have any centers in any African country.

YPV manages all its yoga programs only with those teachers who have been trained by Bihar School of Yoga, (India), the Satyananda Yoga Academies or with those that are trained by YPV.

Thus far, funds have come from the personal work of Dharmajyoti as well from private donations, companies and fundraising events. 

We understand that potential donors want to know how their money is going to be spent, so we are committed to keeping all donors regularly informed of the development of our projects through a newsletter and email, so they will know that their donations have been well invested. Dharmajyoti personally moves in the field to make sure that all the expenses derived from each project have no intermediaries and there is complete transparency.

Until now, all the work carried out by YPV has been done with the help of volunteers; in this way we exclusively use all our resources for the projects we develop.

90% of your donation will go towards funding our projects, while 10% will cover the minimum administrative costs necessary to maintain our operations. As a non-profit organization, we have a legal obligation to ensure that your donation is used for the work described in YPV’s activities, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

YPV’s Board members earn their living from their own professional and personal activities, independent of YPV. All members of the Board of Trustees contribute to the YPV’s mission on a voluntary basis, without receiving financial compensation from YPV.
