Welcome to the Prana International website! You can make a difference in helping to alleviate poverty and broadening the hope and dignity of individuals at the lowest rungs of society.
According to the World Bank “Five out of the world's six billion people live in developing countries where incomes are usually under $2 per day and a significant portion of the population lives in extreme poverty (under $1 per day).” Many such low income individuals’ work informally to support their families but their income is not sufficient to provide three square meals, adequate housing, let alone education or health care needs.
