Sponsor a Child program is founded on a holistic philosophy to span education,
health, physical and cultural development
of the child. Since 2009, we have been providing education for children in grades
4-10
from underprivileged families in India. Beneficiaries are from low-income families
with
parents who are maid-servants, day laborers, janitors, taxi drivers, and roadside
vendors.
The project that started in Bangalore (Karnataka), and, Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh),
is
currently operating in tribal areas of Chamarajanagar, and, Uttara Kannada (in
Karnataka),
and also in Salem, Tamil Nadu. Since inception, we have served more than 3,400
children.
Bhutanese Empowerment“ Sewa International has taken up a nationwide project to help these Bhutanese families.more...Project Detailsclose
Since 2008, refugees from Bhutan were provided asylum by the US Government and
settled in various parts of the US. Beyond
learning to make a living in the US, Bhutanese now numbering nearly 80,000 have to
adjust
to the cold weather, uprooting of traditional familial and societal structures,
cultural
isolation, etiquettes, language, children’s education, family issues (marriage,
birth,
death, conflict resolution, etc.), women’s health, and an insurmountable aspect for
the
poor in the US - transportation. Sewa International has been working to settle the
refugees
down from California to New York, from Chicago to Houston and has reached 48,000
refugees
through its service.
Though many of the refugees are educated and can speak English, many of them have remained unemployed. And because agency support and government aid are not available to them for an extended period of time, the assistance of Sewa International is quickly becoming a lifeline for many of these families. Current programs of Sewa to empower the Bhutanese immigrants include education and tuition services, leadership programs for the youth, women empowerment, job assistance and emergency distress assistance.
