Seva Foundation
Joining together in the spirit of service


Seva Foundation has effectively channeled our donors' gifts into compassionate action since 1978.  Thanks to supporters like you, thousands of people in some of the world's poorest communities are gaining a better life. 

When you donate to Seva, you give gifts that really matter — the gift of clean water, the gift of affordable health clinics, the gift of literacy, the miracle of eyesight, and much more.


Working in nine countries in addition to the United States, Seva Foundation supports projects in the area of health and wellness, community development, environmental protection and cultural preservation.

Seva works to:

  • Prevent blindness and restore sight in India, Nepal, Tibet, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Egypt, Tanzania and Guatemala.

  • Help indigenous communities in Guatemala and Mexico develop their capacity to meet basic needs and create solutions to poverty and injustice.

  • Support Native American projects across the U..S. in the areas of health and wellness, community development, environmental protection and cultural preservation.

Seva's work is made possible by the generosity of donors, foundations, volunteers and friends — all joined together in the spirit of service.

Seva Foundation is a nonsectarian, nonprofit 501(c)3 charitable organization, and all donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.


"Helping out is not some special skill.  It is not the domain of rare individuals.  It is not confined to a single part of our lives.  We simply heed the call of that natural impulse within and follow it where it leads us."
