An important part of Ananda Marga Yoga is service. It is based on the philosophy of Neo-humanism, the idea and feeling that we are all connected and that we need to proceed and develop together. We cant leave anyone behind. We need to care for and support each other so that everyone can feel good, be healthy and grow.
Therefor we have taken two projects under our wings and made the commitment to support these two projects in connection with each yoga holiday. We are in good communication with both these projects. And there is a possibility to visit Centru Tbexbix on Malta when you come for your yoga holiday.
The Sunrise Center is a center for education and social service based in Cospicua, Malta. It hosts a variety of projects and activities aimed at the all-round development of children and women from the Cottonera area.The programs offered aim to provide opportunities for learning and personal growth so that people are encouraged and empowered to develop themselves and improve their socio-economic situation.
The Rurapuk project is a community centre in Paraiso Alto, a very poor part of Lima. This area has no running water, 
and no sewage system. About 25% of the people do not have electricity and most families live in one-room shacks with dirt floors. The people who don’t have electricity use candles, or buy it from a neighbor using an illegal connection. There are no doctors, hospitals, or clinics in the immediate area and there are no parks or green areas.
“The Comedor”, as it is affectionately called, is run by the Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team (AMURT – a not for profit organization) and has two permanent programs – The Rurapuk Hot Lunch Program and the Rurapuk Mothers. The Rurapuk Hot Lunch Program provides hot meals to nutritionally at risk children in a very poor area of Lima called Paraiso Alto; Rurapuk Mothers is a sewing collective which provides employment and helps to empower poor women. The members of Rurapuk Mothers receive a fare wage and profits are reinvested back into the projects. In Quechua, the language of the ancient Incas, Rurapuk means “people who help each other”.
