A Helping Hand to the Victims of Natural Disaster
By Rick Carlton | Founder and Managing Director
While SevaChild has provided food rations to more than 14,000 families in India since 2020, the need for such support in the wake of ever-increasing natural disasters remains urgent. Most recently, 1200 families affected by a devastating cyclone in Tamil Nadu received ration kits funded by SevaChild's donors.
The ration kits include staples such as rice, lentils, wheat flour, tea leaves, cooking oil, sugar, as well as other essentials like sanitary napkins and toiletries. A $40 donation will provide enough food for a family of five for eight weeks; however, SevaChild continues to work towards increasing the supply of product provided whilst keeping the cost of the kits as low as possible.

Feeding Those Struck by Natural Disaster
By Rick Carlton | Founder and Managing Director
Since the inception of the COVID-19 pandemic, SevaChild International has supplied food rations to the most destitute of India's tribal populations in an effort to mitigate the significant challenge faced by the poorest of the poor: earning money to feed their families during nationwide lockdowns.
But since 2023, we have shifted our focus to the unfortunate victims of ever-increasing, climate change-precipitated natural disasters -- the brunt of which is felt by those dwelling in remote rural areas. In 2024, over 1,000 families have received food rations through SevaChild's distribution network thus far! One ration kit provides enough food to nourish an Indian family of four or five members for one month, and also includes non-comestible items such as soap and sanitary napkins.
As the need for outside intervention continues to be critical, SevaChild will maintain this vital project -- relief without which countless individuals would go hungry.

Food Relief for Disaster Victims
By Rick Carlton | Founder and Managing Director
SevaChild International continues to provide relief in the form of victuals for the victims of flooding, landslides, and typhoons in India. Unfortunately, such catastrophes occur on a regular basis in this part of the world, and are increasing in regularity and severity due to climate change.
Families in the areas serviced can ill afford to have their homes and crops destroyed or their businesses closed indefinitely; SevaChild's efforts are focused on providing food for those who have been rendered homeless and without a means of support in the wake of the aforementioned natural disasters.
With the support and assistance of in-country volunteers, our donors are providing the bare necessities for life in the harshest of conditions.
A $25.00 contribution will supply food for a family of five for an entire month.
