Your participation will fund the work of Seva Mandir, an outstanding development NGO located in Rajasthan, India, where the average person lives on less than Rs. 20, or 35 cents per day. Seva Mandir works in more than 1,500 rural areas, partnering with villagers not only to improve their material circumstances, but also to build stronger, more self-reliant and just communities. A foundational belief of the organization is that development cannot be an end in itself but must be linked to transforming social relationships to reduce the traditional barriers of caste, class, gender and age.
One project, among many underway in 2024, is a women’s empowerment initiative that will create peer support systems; strengthen institutional mechanisms that promote women’s voices; and create platforms to develop leadership skills, raise and address social issues such as child marriage and girls' education, and increase participation in local governance.
Learn more about the initiative and other projects this event will fund from Seva Mandir’s Executive Director Ronak Shah and Board President Ajay Mehta, both of whom will be in attendance and happy to provide more details.
