Dear supporters of Sevalaya USA,
Thank you for your support! During fiscal year 2023-24, we supported the education of 648 students exceeding our goal of supporting 600 students for the year. We have exciting news to share! In June 2024, students at the Mahakavi Bharathiyar Higher Secondary School showed exemplary results in the various exams.
Students had a passing grade of 99.2% in XII boards, 99.4% in XI and 97 % in X board exams.
141 out of 142 students in Std XII, 165 out of 166 students in Std XI and 128 out of 132 students in Std X cleared their board exams.
115 students in Std XII, 112 students in Std XI and 91 students in Std X have scored more than first division marks.
Heartfelt thanks to supporter Lalita Subramanian, whose birthday fundraiser raised $1500 toward installing sanitary pad vending and incinerator machines in the toilets for women in Sevalaya School and skills training centers.
Thanks to a donor, a Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System was set up at Sevalaya Janaki Ammal Vijayaragavachariyar Memorial Senior home impacting 30 residents.
Project Mental Wellness offers mental health and wellness services to the students, seniors, and staff of Sevalaya as well as to rural women who are farmers and caregivers. An average of 300 people have benefited every month through this service.
Supporter S. Raghavendran visited the Sevalaya campus and was full of praise for the campus. “We bought cookies from bakery for a family event, drank rose milk and organic buttermilk as we toured the campus, and departed after a well-balanced nutritious meal…The growth mindset Sevalaya kids have, the gratitude and happiness the senior citizens express willingly when we toured made the 2 hour visit on a summer day go by without feeling a bit of exhaustion.”
In November 2023, Sevalaya received a grant from Ekam Foundations to support the vocational training of 120 students for six months in Community college in Kasuva Village in Thiruvallur District of Tamil Nadu. In the first batch which ended in May 2024, 20 students were trained as electricians and 20 students were trained in Refrigerator & AC repairs. A total of 39 students (out of 40) have been placed in jobs.
Sevalaya USA is participating in ICC Sevathon, 2024. Please register for the event and support this work. We are raising funds to support the education of the underprivileged children studying in the school run by Sevalaya in Chennai.
