Meet Devado, a brave 12-year-old boy from Lavender Hill (click Link for IG Post), where growing up often means facing gangsterism, drugs, and violence far too young.

But when he found yoga through Earthchild Project, something shifted.

  • He discovered calm.
  • He discovered his strength.
  • He discovered himself.

    🌱“Yoga helped me find my inner peace. The true me is someone who inspires others...even grown-ups.”

    This Youth Month, we honour the resilience of children like Devado and the power of tools like yoga to unlock peace, confidence and hope in even the harshest environments.

    💫 "To me, inner peace feels like home. Like lying in your mother’s lap.” – Devado
