In 1981, Sri Sri established the Art of Living Foundation, an educational and humanitarian Non-Governmental Organization that works in special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the UNO. In 1997, Sri Sri founded the International Association for Human Values (IAHV) to foster human values and lead sustainable development projects.
