The basic tenet of the AIM for SEVA is centered on the premise that access to education is the key to tackling the core challenges of poverty. We are mindful of the most challenging agenda: providing easy access to school, to many children in India who are denied this basic human right.
Vision: To transform society through a network of seva*, of caring, to help each child to contribute to the uplifting of family and to the progress of the nation.
Mission: To extend reach of education to every poor and disadvantaged child across the nation through the concept of Student Hostel (Free Student Home) near government school.
*“Seva” is a Sanskrit word meaning “selfless service” or work performed without any thought of reward or repayment.
AIM for SEVA (Canada) has an excellent reputation in terms of its zero administration cost, hard working volunteers, and integrity. Toronto is the highest donor city by far, among all donor chapters of AIM of SEVA worldwide. The Canadian chapter has raised donations for construction of 27 hostels. The support from the Canadian chapter, with over $7.2 million collected, currently sponsors 645 children.
Inder Sharma (Hostel Donor 2014) chose AIM for SEVA as to him it is amongst the best managed charities in the country. “Hundred cents of a dollar that they collect goes for the actual charitable work in India. They don’t have any overhead expenses. They have a dedicated team of volunteers.” says Inder Sharma.
AIM for SEVA is not just a ‘schooling’ initiative. Nor is it for merely sheltering the underprivileged. The All India Movement (AIM) for SEVA is an integrated community development program, reaching out to rural and tribal children across India.
