Our Story

The Shantideva Foundation has been aiding communities across Asia, since 2015, in community help, teaching programs, food aid, and family assistance.

Our vision is to make an impact in global poverty alleviation, availability of family assistance, and providing lasting community solutions.

(2021) 900 kg (10,800 lbs) of food was offered to 114 families in a very poor village 2 hours from Bodhgaya, the same village where we opened a free Shantideva Sewing Centre to give young women a chance to learn a vocation.

Every day there are many that suffer due to lack of opportunity or food availability – Our network of generous donors, volunteers, and community members share a vision of preventing and relieving suffering.

The Shantideva Foundation was started by Steve Nadaeu in 2015 upon his return from travels and seeing the need for extreme community aid in these small villages with immense amounts of poverty.

He created The Shantideva Foundation to focus on cultivating wisdom and compassion through the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism.

Community programs include food offerings, community centre creation for skill building, family assistance, support of local monastery programs, and Buddhist teachings.

Partner with our community dedicated to alleviating global poverty and providing compassion, serving others, and building a better world!
