Divineya Society
A Mother-daughter
We are mother-daughter founders, Taya Wall and Wendy Davis.
We’re dedicated to instilling empowerment and change through our international humanitarian work. The dream of starting our own organization grew over time, through our shared vision and our deep, heartfelt connection to India and to each other.
After over a decade of volunteering together - experiences filled with
profound (un)learnings, laughter, tears, joy, and gratitude - Divineya Society was born.
Means: celebrating the graceful and wise spiritual force that connects us all.
It all began with...
Our family’s love for yoga sparked a deep fascination with India’s rich culture and social issues. In 2009, we traveled to India to volunteer with a local charity supporting street children, an experience that changed our lives. Teaching English and life skills to these children opened our eyes to the stark differences in opportunity, especially for girls. This experience deeply impacted Taya, igniting her determination to make a difference. Over the years, as we continued to return, we witnessed the ongoing challenges faced by young girls, which fueled our passion for creating lasting change.
Over a decade of international volunteering experience has deeply contributed to who we are today
I hold a BA in International Human Rights Law and Humanitarian Aid Ethics, complemented by a minor in Political Philosophy. Additionally, I am certified in Sustainable Community Development and hold accreditation as an Akhanda Yoga instructor. My professional journey revolves around empowering women and children through experiential education and advocating for empowerment and autonomy within local and global communities. I specialize in designing and facilitating curriculum-based programs fostering sustainability, critical thinking, and personal growth. I've passionately engaged in international development for over 15 years, utilizing my academic foundation to help shape a more just and equitable world.
With 18 years dedicated to international humanitarian aid work, primarily in India, my journey has been shaped by profound connections and a commitment to service. Guided by the principles of Dharma, I've found purpose in addressing the needs of women, inspired by the enduring friendships forged in India. Complementing my passion, I've delved into yoga for two decades, earning international certification as a Therapeutic Yoga teacher with a focus on psychology and trauma-informed practices. Now, as part of Divineya Society, I merge my expertise with personal values of compassion and transormation on a profound mission to empower underprivileged women through the establishment of sustainable livelihoods.
Meet our partner and founder of Sakhi Kunj...
Meet Meera Arya, the founder of Sakhi Kunj and our dear friend and partner. Meera’s dedication to empowering women and her deep love for her community inspired the creation of Divineya Society. Her passion and creativity continue to guide our shared social enterprise, as she balances her roles as a mother, community leader, and NGO founder with grace and determination.
Our Bond
In India, family closeness and connection is celebrated. Our close mother-daughter bond has helped us build trust within local communities in India, deepening both our connection with the women we empower and with each other. Fueled by our shared passion to give back, we founded Divineya Society, inspired by our first steps in India.
And so Divineya Society, ‘Sisters of India’ was founded.
