Education for peace.
Seeding a culture of global peace: Unified Education® transforms lives in schools, hospitals, prisons and vulnerable communities — wherever peace and inner unity are needed most.
Our mission
World peace begins in the heart of each person.
Isha Judd's approach to world peace starts in the heart of every human being. It inspires each individual to take responsibility for their own happiness and find the inner strength to move beyond life's circumstances.
The Isha Foundation for Education for Peace is dedicated to teaching Unification free of charge throughout Latin America. Working with children, inmates, the terminally ill and people with disabilities, it seeks to support those going through difficult circumstances.

Featured story
Prison system in Chile.
In 2011, the Chilean Gendarmerie (Gendarmería de Chile) signed an institutional agreement with the Isha Foundation to implement Unified Education® in prisons across the country.
The program reached more than 700 inmates. An independent study measured results one year later, evaluating changes in self-esteem, aggression levels and quality of interpersonal bonds among participants.
The program remains active, now with a presence in Argentina (54 penitentiary units) and Mexico (Armed Forces) as well.
Santa Teresita girls' home
A comprehensive program for girls living on the streets.
In Posadas, Misiones (Argentina), the Foundation has worked for more than a decade with the Santa Teresita girls' home, supporting adolescents who have lost their family references.
The practice combines educational training, individual emotional support and group Unification practices. The goal is for the girls to rebuild a connection with themselves before any external system.
