Diwali Celebrations

Share your happiness with our children & elders

Our humble appeal to help us celebrate this Deepavali

 

Warm greetings and good wishes from the kids & elders of SIVANANDA SARASWATHI SEVASHRAM, a national awardee organisation serving the needy since 1945.

Festivals and functions create a sense of purpose in this world and encourage "oneness" in our families. Especially given the unprecedented times we live in, festivals are even more important in that festivals like Diwali, Ramadan, Chirstmas etc help us share more love and affection with our kith and kin.

This is our 78th year of serving the needy and we are profoundly thankful to our well-wishers who help our children, elders, and dedicated care takers, every Deepavali, through their donations. It is only with such support, we are able to provide new clothes, feast, gifts etc., to our children, elders, dedicated caretakers, and staff year after year during Deepavali festival. We are requesting your help this year also.

In addition to our hundreds of resident Children & Elders, we educate close to 4000 children in about 50 villages. For the past close to eight decades, we have been serving highly deserving communities for whom even basic education is a privilege. We are extremely happy to share with you that one of our students has secured a medical seat this year and she aspires to work hard & thrive in the field of Cardiology. We also fully understand that this is just a beginning and in the upcoming years, the number of students [especially from downtrodden background] in such important fields must grow. We are already taking suitable measures in this direction.

Given the emotional ups and downs of many of our children, beyond academics, we are also continuing to prepare them for a post-education world. We plan to achieve this through a structured life skill program and mastery counselling thereby helping them find & sustain a well-paid job. We have started such programs as well. So, any additional help by you this festive season will go a long way in helping us help them.

Although we have a lot of kind hearted people within our Organization to provide physical services, this initiative involves a substantial amount of monetary aid & diligent planning to provide all the requirements mentioned above to thousands of beneficiaries. Hence an appeal is sent through this web site for benevolent individuals to contribute towards our cause.

We wish you and your family a very Happy Deepavali.
