About This Cause
Seva Sahayog Foundation is registered under section 8 (old section 25 B) of the company act. We started with first project that was school-kit and then added many other projects, all of which are ongoing. People from various sections of society do feel a desire of “giving back to society” even though they are occupied with usual assignments and chores of life. Through Seva Sahayog Foundation, these people are sharing their best to social service/cause. A large bank of such socially conscious people has been single most achievement and strength of Seva Sahayog Founation. Since 12 years Seva Sahayog Foundation has been working on connecting various companies, organizations and people with needy sections of our society, mainly from areas in and around Pune and Mumbai. Our core activities are education, woman empowerment, health and environment. These include providing conducive environment at CLCs to children from slums, education of adolescent girl child, skill-development for youths and self-sustainable empowerment of women. Samutkarsha Project: Samutkarsha is overall development of children from a particular slum/community by establishing and running a center called as CLC in the slum itself for this purpose. In Pune city this project covers 70 slums having 66 CLCs where more than 5500 students are getting education and guidance. Seva Sahayog Foundation, at each CLC is engaged in providing long-term benefits such as education, health, cleanliness and self-dependence. Digital Literacy/Sankalp-Digital Maharashtra: There are schools in many districts of Maharashtra, especially rural areas that have availability of classrooms and teachers but no computers or other digital facilities. Understanding our future is based on digital literacy, Seva Sahayog Foundation with support of various IT companies has established digital laboratories in more than 150 rural schools and four urban schools. Seva Sahayog Foundation is running various programs in Pune area to lead “National Digital Literacy Mission”. This includes imparting digital education to children, women, as well as men. Smart Community: Under Smart City Project many activities are ongoing in Pune city. We thought we can participate in this by making our seva wastis or communities smart since half of city population lives in these communities. With this thought; for last two years we are running projects such as school education, digital literacy, woman empowerment, youth development, improved health, waste management, cleanliness along with woman safety. Presently, these projects are on a trial basis though their initial results are very encouraging. Woman Empowerment: Under this project we provide skill enhancement and development of women in slums/communities encouraging these women to be self-sustained. For this first we match potential qualities of women with best possible skill, then provide training of that skill such as art and craft, imitation jewelry, stitching as well as beauty parlor, etc. This is further supported by providing selling technique for this produced material. School-kit: School-kit project aim is to provide needy students full-fledged school bag right at the opening of school. Every year with opening of schools, students need learning material such as a school bag, notebooks, geometry box, pen, pencils, drawing books and crayons, etc. Many parents are unable to afford this essential learning material for their pupils. We are providing school-kits to more than 400 schools and institutions in Maharashtra. Mobile Science Labs: Mobile Science Lab is focused on creating interest in science through simple experiments. Many rural and urban schools do not have well-equipped science laboratories. Also teachers in these schools lack proper knowledge of demonstrating basic experiments to teach science. Therefore, aim of this project is to create interest in science and to teach scientific education where students are doing various scientific experiments themselves, otherwise they would be only reading in text books. Currently, students of 6th to 10th standards in schools in Mumbai, Pune and Maval areas are benefited under this project. Nirmal Wari: Every year on occasion of Ashadi Ekadashi, many warkaries participate in wari to Pandharpur. Open defecation is a major challenge during this period. Under ‘Nirmal Wari Project’ mobile toilets with necessary facilities are provided at every halt of wari, whereby cleanliness and hygiene is maintained with proper sanitation resulting in better health across wari route. Other projects We have other projects in budding stage which are also centered around social causes. These projects are: Urmi (Sanitary napkin making and disposal), Niramay, Tech for Seva, Seva darshan, Walk for Seva, Youth for Seva, Tree plantation
