The Village of Love is a nonprofit organization that helps provide goods, services, and resources for women and children in Mayapur, India, the international headquarters for ISKCON. The organization was inaugurated during the ISKCON Vaishnavi Ministry Sanga, led by Radha Devi Dasi, GBC Vaishnavi Minister, and held in Mayapur, India, earlier this year.
The founder of the Village of Love, Sri Radha Govinda Dasi, saw the urgency for helping deprived women in India to become uplifted and empowered. She also recognized that the lack of care in their developmental years could adversely impact a young woman’s entire life. Therefore, she has made it her mission to help women, children, and students worldwide find themselves through spiritual education.
The organization seeks to “offer women and their children the dignity, empowerment, support, and spiritual nourishment for them to become the best they can.” It also aims to be an example of uplifting and promoting Vaishnavi activities. With the help of a team of volunteers, Sri Radha Govinda Dasi strives to make a difference in the lives of the women she contacts.
