About
Custom Tab
SANTOSHA VILLAGE is a New Orleans based grassroots non-profit seeking to build community with and provide ongoing necessary mutual aid services to our unhoused neighbors. We are a volunteer-led organization that provides direct, on-the-ground support to our most marginalized kin.
In 2020, Santosha converted a school bus into a mobile community center that is run collectively with our unhoused neighbors. During our bus services we help 150 guests access a meal, a safe place to charge devices, take a shower, get a hair cut, receive donations and toiletries, while also sharing in general fellowship where volunteers can come to play music or sing. You may have seen our big blue "KULA" bus out in the city. "KULA" means community. We invite everyone to come to our services to relax, eat, learn, shower, do laundry, educate, and build relationships.
We believe in liberation for all and that a better world is possible when we take part in its creation.
Mission
SANTOSHA is an open invitational community rooted in mutuality. We seek to build spaces and ways of being that accept and choose all our neighbors.
