## Some people get to be well.
## Others do not.
## We are committed to narrowing this global wellbeing gap.
## Wellbeing is a birthright
!
#### We believe in the power of community-led intervention.
#### We believe that by offering tools for healing in communities with little to no other psychosocial support, we begin to narrow the global wellbeing gap.
#### We believe that if we empower community leaders, they will share the practices with others, creating a ripple effect of healing.

## OMPowerment in action
“I’ve been so sad for so long. This is the first time I’ve felt happy. Every night I go home smiling.”
**— OMPowerment Trainee, Palestine, November 2017**
“I feel safer and more comfortable…I have a lot less stress moving through my body….no matter where you come from or who you are, yoga is something you can do”
— **OMPowerment Trainee Norway, June 2018**
"At first I felt alone - but then I felt the support of my friends in the circle. I didn’t feel alone - I felt love."
**— OMPowerment Trainee, Myanmar, November 2018**
