Charitable Foundations
KABBALAH CENTRE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
Kabbalah is not a philosophy or theosophy. Kabbalah is work to be done. The kabbalists of the past were people of action, not people of theory or philosophy. They were constantly traveling from town to town, giving charity, and assisting people in creating better lives for themselves.
This is why, in addition to classes and events, The Kabbalah Centre has created The Kabbalah Centre Charitable Foundation. The Foundation is committed to sharing financial and other resources to people in need, as well as creating long-term programs that benefit the local and global community. This is achieved by identifying urgent and critical needs around the world and establishing effective responses that adequately address these individual circumstances.
Our programs are run and staffed primarily by student volunteers of the Kabbalah Centre. This is where all the understanding and information they have received from studying Kabbalah is truly manifested and miracles are created.

Kabbalah is a movement because it doesn’t stand still. It’s an active, living, and constantly growing force. It builds on the efforts and Light brought by its volunteers. Every individual comes with his or her own magic.
If you are interested in bringing your magic to one of our charitable projects, contact your local Kabbalah Centre volunteer coordinator today or call 1-800-KABBALAH.
RAISING MALAWI
Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, suffering from famine, drought, poverty, and diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis.
Out of a population of 12 million, at least 1 million are orphans.
Raising Malawi is a grassroots initiative offering lasting solutions to the orphans of Malawi. Our approach is comprehensive, compassionate, and effective. Unhindered by obstacles such as bureaucracy and red-tape, Raising Malawi is run and staffed by volunteers, allowing us to raise these children up from powerlessness into self-empowerment – quickly and directly.
Our solutions are:
•Provide immediate and direct physical support such as food, medical care, clothing, clean drinking water, psychosocial counseling, and schooling.
•Provide sustainability. We are partnering with agricultural, medical, and educational experts to teach Malawians how best to improve these areas in the long run in order to create continuity and prosperity.
•Create a sense of self-empowerment. This is where real societal change begins. To this end we are co-creating a curriculum with local Malawian teachers (based on the principles of the Spirituality for Kids Program) that empowers children with universal life skills.
Through an improved inner dialogue and strengthened sense of empowerment, Malawi’s orphans will grow up in control of their destiny and able to reverse the destructive patterns that have permeated their society for generations.

SUCCESS FOR KIDS (SFK)
The mission of SFK is to build life skills that promote social and emotional development in every child. We teach children be more responsible by making decisions that reflect a consciousness of others and the world in which they are a part. We teach children the tools to empower them to meet life's challenges, thereby helping them reach their full potential. SFK gives children an awareness of themselves, of others, and of the interconnectedness of all things so that they become caring, successful, and effective individuals.
In our classes the kids are empowered to shift their focus from external to internal. Students learn how to make better choices and develop an understanding that all people have an essence within that is inherently good. These important concepts articulate for students how each of us has the power within to influence our own lives and the lives of others which will lead to long-lasting happiness while transforming them into more caring and sharing human beings.
SFK YOUTH
SFK’s Youth (teen) program is a multi-faceted prevention program with the mission of enriching adolescents and enabling them to become the engineers of their own lives. The program integrates thought-provoking activities with a focus on a transformative and personalized experience. Skills taught through the SFK Youth program provide students with techniques to make effective and positive choices thereby working to avoid the negative effects of poor decisions. By exploring and learning universal spiritual principles, teens begin to understand that no matter what their current circumstance, they can tap into their inner power to change their lives for the better.
During the critical developmental years of adolescence, the SFK Youth program can provide the tools to help build a healthy sense of self while fostering and deepening the desire to share and contribute to the betterment of humanity. Graduates of the SFK Youth program are better equipped to move forward into adulthood with a greater appreciation for their ability to become the creators of their own life experience.
KIDS CREATING PEACE
Kids Creating Peace - KCP - is an educational peace program created by SFK in order to address the unique circumstances encountered by children in war-torn areas of the world.
We believe that the crucial first step towards achieving sustainable peace starts with recognizing the inner peace in every one of us. Spiritual practice is the first step in
changing the common attitude of hatred to one of hope and tolerance, which provides a fertile basis for building peaceful communities. For this reason SFK launched the
KCP pilot program in Israel and Palestine.
Just as SFK teaches children all over the world the universal tools to make conscious choices and overcome challenges, KCP applies the principles of tolerance and human dignity to children caught in real-world conflicts enabling them to create change for themselves and future generations.
Since its launch, KCP has brought together thousands of Arab and Jewish children for special programs, events and summer camp experiences, in order to nourish bonds of friendship and tolerance.

ZOHAR PROJECT
The Kabbalah Centre is committed to removing chaos and suffering around the world. The Kabbalah Centre achieves this goal by distributing The Zohar to people and places in need of its life-changing wisdom.
Copies of The Zohar have been distributed all over the world, most recently to such places as Malawi, Jordan, Iraq, Bahrain, Poland, Israel, and Afghanistan. Each year, The Kabbalah Centre sends The Zohar to areas of the world fraught with distress. These projects are funded by individual donors who direct their contributions specifically to the printing, delivery and distribution of The Zohar to those who request it.
The Kabbalah Centre receives countless letters describing amazing miracles that have occurred as a result of the distribution of The Zohar through The Zohar Project.
Please help share Kabbalah with the world
