In order to serve the needy whose families live hand to mouth, Sri Sathya Sai Trust For Universal Welfare, every month, reaches out to such needy families and supports them with monthly groceries.
Called Sai Swayampakam Seva, this helps the needy families, who are unable to make their ends meet, to cook food as per their convenience and quantity.
This makes the needy independent of reaching out daily for food, and further plan a livelihood now that they are assured of food grains for a month. There are many instances where the needy families even use this over a couple of months.
Some of the 21 beneficiary families this month, across areas of Pedagantyada, Gajuwaka, Gopalapatnam and Kothavalasa near Visakhapatnam and Vizianagaram, are migrated labourers without ration cards and no access to government aid, those whose breadwinners are faced with medical problems and are bedridden, and those children's families that have single parents or have more children due to which they are not able to feed themselves.
We thank you all for your active participation which has ensured support to such needy families. We pray that you get more opportunities to serve the needy!
