Bridging Hearts and Minds - Supporting Refugee Entrepeneurs

Bridging Hearts & Minds is a global campaign that brings together yoga, mental health, and collective care—fueling community-led change through kindness in action.

‍What’s the campaign about?

Throughout June—honoring International Yoga Day—we’re inviting yoga and meditation teachers, mental health organizations, and anyone passionate about well-being to take part in a month of movement, connection, and impact.

By offering or joining classes, and sharing this campaign, we’ll raise funds for Bridging Gaps, a nonprofit supporting refugee and migrant entrepreneurs in the Global South.

Where does your donation go?

Your donation supports community-led entrepreneurship through microloans, training, and holistic support for people in Uganda, Ghana, Brazil, and Zambia. These microloans are repaid and reinvested—fueling a cycle of opportunity and impact.

You’ll support entrepreneurs like:

Kwabena, a young man in Northern Ghana selling affordable, eco-friendly household products to promote sustainability and improve his community’s well-being.

Abigail, a woman living with HIV in rural Ghana, who dreams of starting a small soap-making business with natural ingredients to support her family and empower women around her.

Why does it matter?

Because healing ourselves is deeply connected to healing the world.

Because collective care can cross borders.

Because everyone deserves the chance to dream, grow, and thrive.

This campaign is an invitation to move with purpose—and build a more compassionate, connected world together.
