MISSION:
Kindle
Life provides a
space for Hindu practice, devotion, prayer and meditation in the
rapidly growing Indian community of the Bay Area by promoting Hindu religious
beliefs and by creating an
environment conducive to education, worship and the practice of the
Hindu religion. The organization encourages exploration of the Hindu
religion and regularly presents religious opportunities to practice
religious tenets by working with elderly people in the community,
providing loans and scholarships and encouraging donations to people
in need, such as orphans and the victims of natural disasters.
VISION:
- A knowledgeable public able to protect
themselves, their families, their homes, their businesses, and
their communities.
- Structures located out of harm's way
and built to withstand the worst of any disaster.
- Authorized philanthropic organizations
with plans in place and the resources and training they need.
- Communities capable of recovering
and rebuilding after disaster has passed.
We offer the help by:
- Promoting sound building design and
constructions practices.
- Providing grants for activities that
reduce the impact of earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and other
natural disasters.
- Educating the public on what to do
through training programs, publications, and seminars.
- Helping local communities for disaster
mitigation

from high risk areas, and encouraging property owners to construct
safer buildings above flood level.
