Sevalaya

Sevalaya was inspired by three leading lights of India - Mahatma Gandhi, Swami Vivekananda and Mahakavi Bharathi. The common thread in the philosophy of all these 3 great men is "Serve the needy". With the support of philanthropic minded public, Sevalaya began operating its own premises situated in 1.52 acres of own land at Kasuva, a remote village near Chennai which did not have any medical and schooling facilities. Good citizens are essential for the welfare of the Nation. It is the duty of the parents to bring up their children to become such good citizens. For orphans, it becomes the duty of the society to take charge of them, give them shelter, love and affection, self-confidence and life-coping education. Without this support there is a risk that they will fall a prey to antisocial elements, and themselves become antisocial.

Several Sources Shelters

We were inspired to name our efforts Several Sources because we do what we do through many sources: through God's blessings, through the humility of those who seek our aid, through the actions of our many volunteers and through you, our donors. We'd like you to support our shelters for mothers and their babies, our efforts to teach Chastity and how to make better life choices, our over 80 special needy families, our inner city homeless women, our kids and our children who are HIV+. The pregnant, frightened teens keep contacting us by hotline, by email and through word of mouth. They have only us to turn to in their time of turmoil and abandonment. The homeless women appear at our door, pleading for food, clothing and just a clean, dry place to rest.
