Excellent Opportunities for Leaving a Family Legacy 2022
AIM for Seva (AIMS)is offering attractive options for leaving legacies for our loved ones. Until now, AIMS has focused on building “Chatralaya” Free Student Homes in remote areas to housing young children free of cost for several years until they become young adults. Over 100 have been built and a dozen more are being constructed. In addition, we have built two large “Vidyalaya” complexes. These complexes consist of high school, even a college, free housing for boys and girls, technology center and fleet of buses to bring day scholars from as far as 30 miles. The result is a much bigger impact on a larger community. 3 more such complexes, in Karnataka, in Uttarakhand and in Maharashtra are now fully funded and construction has begun as of April 2022. See thisVidyalaya Presentation for details
Bay Area donors are pledging very generously, and have sponsored several of the projects within these Vidyalayas already, so join the team.
The following 3 Vidyalaya (school) projects are now fully funded and construction has just begun
Appeal for Medical Supplies and Covid support in India (early 2022) was a success
AIM for Seva transforms the lives of children in rural India through its chatralaya, or free student homes, which provide a loving, nurturing environment and access to value-based education, quality health care, and life-enriching cultural, spiritual and recreational programming. https://aimforsevausa.org/
Our coordinators across India continue to provide relief supplies, groceries and essential items to the migrant workers, elderly, unemployed and other people from the economically weaker sections of the society.
The need for food and safety essentials to distribute fresh food and grocery essentials to people in locked down area worked well. A donation of just $25 provided a grocery kit to feed a family of five for a month. Feed 10 families with a $250 donation or 20 families with a $500 donation.
