🌟 Welcome to International SEVA: Changing Lives, One Child at a Time 🌟
Who We Are
At International SEVA, we envision a world where every child is valued, loved, and empowered to reach their full potential. Guided by the principles of Support, Embrace, Value, and Accept (SEVA), we address critical challenges faced by underprivileged and special needs children in Gujarat, India, and the United States. Through education, nutrition, and community advocacy, we provide resources and opportunities that foster inclusion and growth.
Why We Do What We Do
Your support fuels these transformative activities that address pressing needs:
In Gujarat, India:
- Provide Meals to Fight Malnutrition: All of the 1,300 children in 11 remote villages lack access to essential nutrients like milk, rice, and fresh greens and fruits. We are aiming to deliver staple foods to combat malnutrition, help children improve focus, physical health, and school attendance.
- Equip Children with Tools to Learn: Basic educational materials and technology bridge the gap in rural schools, empowering students to achieve academic success & break the cycle of poverty.
- Training and Mentoring: One-on-one and group sessions for special needs children and their caregivers build confidence and skills, ensuring inclusion in local communities.
In the United States:
- Delivering Groceries for Better Nutrition: Many families in shelters and low-income households lack access to balanced meals. Nutritious groceries and protein snacks prevent illness and support physical and cognitive development.
- Supporting Special Needs Education: Teachers in Title 1 schools often lack resources for neurodiverse students. Supplying playdough, pencils, and other materials enhances hands-on learning and classroom engagement.
- Offering Creative Outlets: Weekend arts and crafts classes foster creativity in children while giving parents much-needed respite.
- Advocating for Families in Need: We guide families to access essential services, such as healthcare programs and SNAP/TANF benefits, ensuring they can build a stable future.
Your Impact
Every donation brings us closer to a world where all children can thrive:
- Improved Health: Meals and groceries address malnutrition and boost energy, focus, and overall well-being.
- Enhanced Learning: Educational tools and technology empower children to pursue brighter futures. Our goal is to provide tablets, computers and/or a Smart TV.
- Inclusive Communities: Advocacy and mentorship ensure special needs children and their families are seen, valued, and supported to reduce stigma, isolation and depression.
- Global Reach: With your help, we can expand to support 500+ children with autism and Down syndrome waiting for assistance in Central Africa.
