Make Women in Rural India Financially Secure

Dear Friend,

Greetings from Seva Mandir. We hope you and your loved ones are well.

It has been 55 years since Seva Mandir has been running its interventions under various thematic areas. 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 3,500 out of school rural and tribal children coming from marginalized communities by running Shiksha Kendra’s and education camps to cover the learning gaps and mainstreaming them in schools.
• With an overall outreach of 1 lakh children, we provide lifesaving treatment, nutrition and childcare treatment to combat malnutrition in remote villages which lack government facilities.
• Over 30,000 women coming from severe vulnerabilities participated in Seva Mandir’s Women’s Self-help groups and availed credit and saving facility, further strengthening their social status and livelihood. While 92 women who have faced abuse and distress have been provided shelter home and rehabilitation facility.
• Currently 967 village development institutions created by Seva Mandir are running, with a participation of 85,000 members, working together to solve socio-political barriers to harness the growth of their villages through participatory approach.
• 3.6 lakh sapling have been planted covering 1,400 hectares, while reaching 15,000 small farmer households, as our effort in preserving the common lands, promoting sustainable agriculture and income generation.
