Serve the people

Seva Foundation is an international health organization based in Berkeley, California. Seva is best known for their work restoring eyesight to nearly 3 million blind people suffering from cataract blindness in places like Tibet, Nepal, Cambodia, Bangladesh, and throughout Africa.


Serving the Underserved - Seva's programs serve people who have been economically, politically, or otherwise marginalized. Their program approach is created in consideration of the cultures and circumstances of the communities being served. Projects touch diverse, culturally-rich, communities including nomads in Tibet, Maasai women in Tanzania, and indigenous Mayans in Guatemala. Seva's aim is to build a bridge of compassion between donors and the people they serve - building sustainable health programs in many of the most under-served communities around the globe.
