We're on the ground when disaster strikes
By Rick Carlton | Founder and Managing Director
Your donations are now funding emergency relief efforts as flooding, typhoons and landslides ravish the rural areas of many of India's most impoverished states leaving families without homes, crops destroyed, and businesses closed indefinitely. SevaChild’s relief efforts are focused on providing food for families who have been left homeless and without a means of support in the wake of these natural catastrophes. With the help of volunteers on the ground, SevaChild donors like you can provide the bare necessities for life in the harshest and most impoverished areas of India. A $25 donation will deliver food for a family of 5 for a month.

Continuing Support in the Wake of Disaster
By Rick Carlton | Founder and Managing Director
While SevaChild has completed the COVID-19-inspired food rations project that was originally implemented to sustain starving families during the pandemic, we have shifted to the provision of such rations -- along with other emergency support -- in the wake of relief necessary due to natural disasters.
Since April of 2020, more than 14,000 families have received ration kits that include basic necessities to sustain a family of four or five people for an entire month. Working in 11 remote areas of India on the outskirts of Hyderabad, New Delhi and Dehradun, and in concert with its network of staff and volunteers, we continue to supply basics including rice, lentils, wheat flour, tea leaves, cooking oil, and sugar -- along with other essentials such as sanitary napkins and face masks -- to those in the most dire of circumstances.
Your $40.00 contribution goes a long way to alleviating the suffering caused by a lack of life's most basic necessities in the wake of calamity!

Food Rations Distributed in the Wake of Flooding
By Rick Carlton | Founder and Managing Director
Donations to this program during the past two years have made it possible for SevaChild to provide over 20,000 Indian families with one month's worth of food rations -- enough for a family of four or five individuals.
Each of the ration kits supplied by SevaChild includes basic staples (rice, pulses, sugar, tea) as well as other necessities such as personal hygiene items.
Since we last reported to you, SevaChild has distributed another 500 food ration kits, as it continues to identify those communities most in need and distribute these life-saving provisions accordingly throughout the poorest regions of the sub-Indian continent. Among those assisted most recently are victims of the flooding in Sikkim in the northeastern part of India.
Emergencies related to climate change threaten to dramatically increase the need for relief, particularly in the poorest areas of our world.
