The Seva Initiative

We are a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization that provides free school supplies, all over the world, to students most in need.

1.2 billion children worldwide live in poverty

How We’ve Made an Impact Together

Collectively, we have made a tangible difference to the lives of underserved students by providing them with the classroom tools they need to excel. The Seva Initiative was created to help disadvantaged communities in California. However, thanks to our volunteers, partners, and your generous donations, we now have successfully expanded our operations and are able to impact the lives of students throughout the globe.


01

— Our Mission

In underserved communities, poverty, lack of infrastructure, and social barriers lead to disparities in learning and access to education. Our mission is to ensure that every child has the tools they need to learn and succeed in the classroom by providing free school supplies to students who face these disparities. 


02

— Our Global Footprint

Our strategic partnerships with international charities have allowed us to expand and provide global outreach to hundreds of students throughout the world. This year, the Seva Initiative has provided essential school supplies to over 1,500 students in underserved communities throughout the United States, North Africa, and Asia. 

03

— Essential School Supplies

The Seva Initiative provides the following free supplies to underserved schools and students: backpacks, first aid kits, chromebooks, pencils, dry erase markers, notebooks, copy paper, folders, glue, crayons, flash drives, cleaning supplies, hygiene products, clothing, books, and more.
