Seva Mandir organizes community-based camps to provide Severe Acute Malnourished (SAM) Children from highly-remote areas in Rajasthan with medical care and treatment.

India is recovering from the devastating effects of Covid-19, but new cases are on the rise again. The pandemic has ravaged the lives of people in southern Rajasthan, whose average daily income is less than $0.70 (Rs. 52). We provided temporary support to these families, by distributing relief kits and arranging for medical facilities. We are now working on providing long term sustainable measures. Your donation will be used to create long term opportunities for these rural communities.

Very young children in the poorest tribal villages of southern Rajasthan are often left at home alone or with young siblings whilst their parents work. They lack adequate care, safety and nourishing food, resulting in malnutrition and ill-health. Seva Mandir's day care (balwadi) programme addresses these issues by offering a safe, loving environment, nutritious meals and supplements for children from birth to 5 years old, for six hours a day, six days a week.

Seva Mandir seeks to help small farmers and their families in rural areas of southern Rajasthan in India, by enhancing their livelihood and improving their food and nutritional intake. In this project, farmers will be supported with high quality seeds, setup fruit orchids and vegetable plantation and capacity building trainings in agricultural techniques. The project will also work on increasing availability of water for irrigation by constructing and repairing Water Harvesting Structures.

Seva Mandir is working to restore degraded Aravalli hills in south Rajasthan. Till now, we have planted more than 2 million plants in the area which is drought prone and experience irregular rainfall. Through this project, we aim to plant 10,000 plants in this area which will restore local ecology and will also benefit local people with food, fuel and fodder. The local community will ensure survival of the plants making the project sustainable.

Many women in rural India suffer violence and harassment at the hands of their families. There is a dire need to provide shelter for women who receive no support. Since 2004, Seva Mandir has been running a shelter home for women mainly from Udaipur district (though also for women from all over India) who have suffered abuse. The Shelter offers support and rehabilitation , counselling services, legal aid, medical and psychological care (at home or in hospital), skills development, and more.

Seva Mandir seeks to help women in rural areas attain financial freedom by adopting a habit of saving and inter-loaning through Self-Help Groups. The programme also aims to strengthen livelihood-generating activities.

Seva Mandir is committed to improve the lives of rural communities in southern Rajasthan. The project aims to empower women farmers through improving their livelihoods and increasing their income. The rural and tribal women will be supported and trained on farm based livelihood activities like floriculture, vegetable cultivation and animal husbandry (Goatry & Backyard Poultry). The project will not only improve wellbeing of women but will benefit their family members especially children.

Seva Mandir's focus is to provide access to quality education to the children in disadvantaged tribal areas through highly effective education interventions. Children are enabled to continue their education, having become confident, independent learners. Seva Mandir's approach includes mainstreaming children through bridge schools and strengthening government schools therefore, increasing their chances of retention.
