Native Health
For 30 years, Seva has been working to re-build healthy Native American communities. We support a variety of grassroots projects and bring resources and expertise to communities that are often overlooked. Many face high rates of type 2 diabetes and poverty. Seva has successfully supported hundreds of Native health projects, serving nearly 100 tribes. Your gift to Seva’s Native Health Program supports urgent initiatives.
“Seva is one of the only organizations in the world that supports Native American projects. These projects promote traditional foods that keep Native peoples diabetes-free, respect our dignity, and ensure our very survival. Please, support Seva's work to help Native Families.”
