International SEVA Corporation

Changing Lives with Compassion, Commitment, and Community, One Child at a Time

Our Mission

International SEVA is a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit founded on the values of Support, Embrace, Value, Accept (SEVA). Our mission is to ensure every child—especially underprivileged and special needs children—has access to education, nutrition, mentorship, and emotional support, empowering them to thrive in their communities.

We serve children in Gujarat, India, Virginia and Texas (USA), and plan to expand to Central Africa, focusing on children with limited access to resources, low immunity, or developmental challenges. Every project is designed to create lasting impact, reduce isolation, and build self-confidence, while giving donors a clear understanding of the outcomes their contributions enable.

Who We Serve

• Children in Rural Gujarat: 1,300+ children in 11 villages, many with special needs, currently receiving only two basic meals per day from another organization.
• Children and Families in the U.S.: Low-income families, children in shelters, and neurodiverse learners in Title I schools.
• Central Africa: 500+ children with autism and Down syndrome awaiting educational support, nutrition, and caregiver guidance.
• Local Seniors in Virginia: Vulnerable seniors participating in the Microgreens Project alongside special needs children to foster intergenerational bonds and improve health.
