Sewa Bay Area

Our Mission: Sewa International’s mission is to serve humanity in distress, aid local communities, run developmental projects for the underserved, and assist people in transformational change through the power of innovation by mobilizing partners, donors, and volunteers.
Our Vision: We aspire to be the preeminent, Hindu faith-based, humanitarian organization that serves selflessly and with compassion to create a positive impact. We envision and strive for a world in which all people live in harmony, free from suffering.

With over 40 chapters across the U.S., it mobilizes volunteers to provide emergency aid during natural disasters, including hurricanes, wildfires, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond relief work, Sewa runs programs supporting refugee resettlement, child education (ASPIRE), youth leadership (LEAD), women’s health (SHE), and family services. Operating with minimal overhead and open to all communities, Sewa emphasizes selfless service (“sewa”) through grassroots engagement and civic action.
