About Moksha
Welcome home
A registered Ontario not-for-profit since 2014 — connecting cultures and serving neighbourhoods with dignity, compassion, and professionalism.
Our story
Moksha Canada Foundation is a registered Ontario-based not-for-profit organization, operating since 2014. The word “Moksha” originates from Sanskrit and refers to liberation and release.
We believe the true spirit and joy of Moksha can be achieved through the celebration of diverse cultures and through selfless service to communities from the most marginalized backgrounds.
Our programs were first launched in Markham and have since expanded across the Greater Toronto Area, as well as into Niagara and Windsor.
