Empowering Young Minds: Celebrating the Success of Our Residential Learning Camp

By Varsha Jain | Project Leader

Invitation

Dear Supporters,

We are excited to share the successful completion of our recent Residential Learning Camp, which provided a transformative experience for 128 out-of-school children from remote tribal areas. These children, many of whom come from rural, financially challenging family situations and are first-generation learners, were able to immerse themselves in a supportive environment focused on both academic and personal growth. Throughout their time at the camp, the children improved their reading, writing, and math skills, building the confidence needed to re-engage with formal schooling. With an emphasis on activity-based learning, they participated in sports, cultural activities, and storytelling, which nurtured a sense of curiosity and a love for learning. The camp also prioritized the children’s health and nutrition, providing nutritious meals and regular health check-ups. This holistic approach has given these vulnerable children the motivation to continue their education and a brighter outlook for the future.

We would also like to take this opportunity to invite you to our upcoming event with Fareed Zakaria, entitled “Living in Revolutionary Times.” The event will take place from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm on Wednesday, October 30, 2024, at 365 Fifth Avenue (at 34th Street), New York.

Fareed Zakaria is a bestselling author, renowned host of CNN’s international affairs program “GPS,” and Washington Post columnist. The Chief Executive of Seva Mandir, Mr. Ronak Shah will also be present at this event, and he would be delighted to see you there.

Once again, thank you for your continuous support.

Thank you,
Team Seva Mandir

57 years of Seva Mandir

We are delighted to share that on April 20th, 2024, we celebrated Seva Mandir's 56th Foundation Day, marking another year of empowering rural communities and fostering sustainable development. Reflecting on a letter from our founder, Dr. Mohan Singh Mehta, written four decades ago, we found his words still resonate, reaffirming our mission's enduring relevance.

This milestone is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our supporters, volunteers, staff, and the communities we serve. Together, we have achieved remarkable progress, transforming lives and creating positive change.

As we celebrate 56 years of service, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and partnership. Your generosity and solidarity drive our success. Through GlobalGiving we at Seva Mandir always feel excited to share about our work, the stories of our village communities and the milestones we reach. In the last year, Seva Mandir has been able to:

Reached over 4,000 out-of-school rural and tribal children through Shiksha Kendra’s and education camps, addressing learning gaps and mainstreaming them into schools.
Provided lifesaving treatment, nutrition, and childcare to 38,000 children in remote villages lacking government facilities.
Empowered over 30,000 vulnerable women through Self-Help Groups, offering credit and savings facilities to strengthen their social status and livelihood. Additionally, 96 women facing abuse and distress received shelter and rehabilitation.
Planted 3.7 lakh saplings over 1,275 hectares, benefiting 15,000 small farmer households and promoting sustainable agriculture and income generation.

All of this and so much more we aim to achieve, only with the encouragement and backing we receive from donors like you.

Today, we are excited to share our participation in GlobalGiving’s July Bonus Day 2024 Campaign. On July 10, 2024, from 09:00:00 EDT until matching funds run out or 23:59:00 EDT, your donations will be matched by GlobalGiving:

Donations of $500 - $749 USD will be matched at 30%
Donations of $750 - $1,000 USD will be matched at 40%

Therefore, matching donations will make every contribution count even more, helping us reach even more people in need.

We hope you will extend your generous support once again, helping us move closer to our vision of a just, equitable, and sustainable world. Thank you for being an integral part of the Seva Mandir family.

Best Regards
