The Friends of Seva Mandir UK support Seva Mandir, a world-renowned NGO in India, which works to improve the lives of half a million of the world’s poorest people.
Seva Mandir makes a difference. Every year, through its work:

Thousands of children are helped to avoid or recover from life-threatening malnutrition
