Sarvodaya Youth Mandal

Transforming Lives Through Empowering Presence

Sarva Seva Sangh is a registered charitable society/trust committed to the education, health, environmental protection, relief to the distresses, capacity building and rehabilitation of children living at high risk situations. We reach out to children living in street situations and children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. Our mission is to create "a society where every person realizes their potential".

Sarva Seva Sangh works to strengthen Youth through livelihood support, assistance in obtaining documents, and connecting them with government schemes and benefits. Most of our beneficiaries pursue education while living with their families, reflecting our commitment to family-based care. We engage in social advocacy and awareness-building interventions, particularly on child rights, protection, education, and issues related to child labour and HIV/AIDS. Through our comprehensive programs and support services, we strive to make a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable children and their families, fostering their overall development and integration into society.
