The Gandhi Foundation exists to spread knowledge and understanding of the life and work of Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948). It aims to explain and demonstrate the continuing relevance of Gandhi’s insights and actions today.


The Gandhi Foundation promotes:



  • Nonviolence to replace war and aggression

  • Egalitarian economics, emphasising self-reliance, cooperation, and trusteeship

  • Simple lifestyles that avoid an endless quest for more possessions and superficial experiences. This is essential to protect the planet’s resources and ecology

  • Grassroots democracy that is decentralised, human-scale, and involves the active participation of everyone

  • Tolerance and pluralism: Gandhi regarded different religions and philosophies as each possessing some but not the whole truth

  • Respect for animals and an end to their exploitation
