Your Seva (UK, 1162477) Browse events

Your Seva is a charity inspired by the teachings of Guru Nanak that works towards eradicating poverty. By enabling people to positively contribute to society we aim to help those that are less fortunate so that together we can directly tackle poverty and provide aid to impoverished families. We believe that by providing a helping hand we can empower families that live in poverty to develop the resources necessary so that they can break the cycle of poverty. Your Seva is based on the Sikh principle of Seva: being selfless by taking responsibility and actively contributing to the betterment of humanity by effecting positive social change. Our primary focus currently is India as it is one of the most improvised countries in the world, the South Asian diaspora has a close relationship with India and many Indians hold in common the teachings of Guru Nanak and the principles of Daya (compassion/apathy). We aim to connect with the South Asain community and build on this relationship so that together we can help impoverished families in India. We aim to expand the area in which we can help by growing the charity organically and connecting with other diaspora communities to alleviate poverty in other nations. With this core principles of Daya and Seva we encourage people to share their earnings and volunteer their skills, and put them towards helping those that are less fortunate. It is our mission to help you carry out Your Seva.
