By Varsha Jain | Project Leader

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 $100 - $499 USD will be matched at 20%
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

Thank Your for Your Support: Manjubala's Inspiring Journey!

By Varsha Jain | Project Leader

Training Session on Financial and Digital Literacy

Dear Friend,

"A woman's education is the foundation of a prosperous community," as Manjubala's inspiring journey illustrates.

A resident of a rural village in southern Rajasthan, Manjubala's participation in Seva Mandir's financial and digital literacy programme has not only transformed her own life, but has also become a beacon of hope for her community. By spreading awareness and motivating other women to join the programme, she embodies the transformative power of education.

Manjubala's compassionate nature and newfound knowledge came to light when she noticed a vegetable vendor in her village always wearing a mask. Upon investigation, she discovered the heartbreaking truth - the vendor was battling mouth cancer but was unable to seek treatment due to financial constraints. Using information from the literacy programme, Manjubala directed him to government health programmes that offered free treatment.

As a result, the vegetable vendor was able to get medical help, have a successful operation and beat his disease. Today, he's a thriving entrepreneur who runs a clothes shop showing how empowerment can change lives.

Manujbala's story is a poignant reminder that when women are empowered with knowledge and opportunity, they not only lift themselves up, but entire communities, paving the way for a brighter, more prosperous future.

With your support, we hope to continue to make a small but significant difference in the lives of less privileged women in South Rajasthan.

We are happy to share that we are participating in GlobalGiving's April 2024 Little by Little campaign. During Campaign from 8th to 12th April, all eligible donations up to $50 will be matched at 50%. Therefore, matching donations will make every contribution count even more, helping us reach even more underprivileged women.

With $15, you can support the training of rural and tribal women to effectively manage loans, keep saving records, and mobilize financial resources in order to build small business. We hope you'll consider extending your generous support once again.

Your Sincerely,

Ronak Shah

Chief Executive
