IAHV and the Art of Living Foundation provide relief and trauma care around the world
The International Association for Human Values (IAHV) is a sister organisation of the Art of Living Foundation and was set up by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Geneva in 1997, to foster on a global scale deeper understanding of the values that unite us as a human community.
Its vision is that while the human population will long celebrate its distinct traditions; there will also be greater understanding and appreciation of the many shared principles.
IAHV develops and promotes programs of personal development that encourage the practice of human values in everyday life. It also has programs of community education that foster greater awareness of the shared values among the diverse cultures.

IAHV upholds the incorporation of human values into all aspects of life will ultimately lead to the development of a more peaceful, just and sustainable world.
In fostering Human Values, the Association works in collaboration with partners dedicated to similar goals, including governments, educational institutions, other NGOs, corporations and individuals. IAHV is an international NGO in special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.
The UK branch of IAHV is a charitable trust, registered in the UK, and involved in numerous projects here, and around Europe, including:
