The Beginning of Sai Seva Sangh – 1961/88 (A Registered Charitable Organization)
The foundation of Sai Seva Sangh was laid in August 1988 by a group of compassionate, like-minded individuals who shared a single vision to educate and empower orphaned and underprivileged girl children by providing them free shelter, education and holistic care.
The executive members of Sai Seva Sangh are alumni of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, Puttaparthi, where they themselves received a free, value-based education.
Deeply inspired by this blessing, they pledged to give back to society by creating a haven for children who had no one to care for them thus, Sai Seva Sangh was born, a ray of hope for countless young lives.
To reach those who needed help the most, we began our journey in a slum area surrounded by small-scale industries, where many children were at risk of child labor and illiteracy. With no infrastructure, just a heartfelt mission, we started with 26 children, teaching them the basics of reading and writing. Soon, we expanded learning beyond academics by introducing art, dance, music, and sports, encouraging each child to discover her hidden potential.
At Sai Seva Sangh, every child receives comprehensive education, nutritious food, safe accommodation, medical care and personal needs all completely free of cost. Once a child enters our home, she is nurtured with love, dignity and equal opportunities, without any financial burden on her family.
Home for Destitute Ladies – A Unit of Sai Seva Sangh (1988 – 2023)
Sai Seva Sangh’s journey began with the Home for Destitute Ladies, providing a safe and nurturing environment for elderly women. The home accommodates 18 residents, with a capacity for 25, all lovingly cared for by our team members and volunteers. Encouraging independence, the ladies prepare their own meals, assist in cooking for others, and contribute by making pickles, snacks, and other food items, while being provided with nutritious meals to ensure their health and well-being.
The residents enjoy a warm, supportive community, interacting with children, students and fellow members, creating a joyful and caring atmosphere. Comprehensive medical care is available on-site through a free clinic, reflecting Sai Seva Sangh’s commitment to dignity, health, and holistic care for every resident.
We have now shifted our complete focus toward supporting orphaned and underprivileged girl children by providing free education and residential facilities.
Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Mandir School – A Unit of Sai Seva Sangh (1994)
Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Mandir School (A Unit of Sai Seva Sangh) Recognized by Government of Telangana in the year 1999. The school stands apart from other schools by embracing an educational approach deeply rooted in ancient Bharatiya culture and spirituality. Here, students and teachers live together like a family, where the teacher not only imparts essential knowledge and life skills but also guide students toward timeless wisdom. Our philosophy follows the 3H formula: Educate, Empower, and Enlighten.
We began with a mission — to bring light into the lives of orphaned and underprivileged girl children in the Moosapet slum area of Hyderabad, surrounded by small-scale industries.
What We Do?
At Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Mandir, education is completely free of cost. Every child receives textbooks, notebooks, uniforms, school bags and learning materials, along with a nutritious mid-day meal. Regular medical check-ups and free medicines are provided by a team of voluntary doctors who care deeply for the children’s well-being.
Our teachers a blend of volunteers and sponsored educators — go beyond textbooks. They nurture curiosity, discipline and self-confidence, ensuring each child grows into a responsible citizen of Bharath.
School Life
From a modest beginning with 25–30 children in Classes I–III, the school nurtured over 350 students from Classes I to X. School hours run from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. allowing students to complete their homework here because many homes in the slum lack electricity.
At 4:00 p.m., every child is served a glass of milk — a simple yet caring gesture that symbolizes the warmth and nourishment of this extended family. The school has consistently achieved 100% distinction results in both SSC and VII Class Public Examinations, a reflection of hard work and perseverance.
The school currently educates 200 children from 6th to 10th grade, operating from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. Each student’s all-round development is carefully nurtured, with detailed records maintained on their background, health, academic performance, and overall well-being.
Sri Sathya Sai Deenajanordharana Pathakam – A Unit of Sai Seva Sangh (2005)
Sometimes, it takes a crisis to reveal a greater purpose. In 2004, one of our students coming to school met with a heartbreak which too heavy for any child—she had lost her entire family in a devastating fire and had nowhere to call home. Without hesitation, we welcomed her into our school, providing safety and love when the world offered none. This profound moment sparked a vision in 2005 to create an orphanage. While many suggested starting one for boys, our hearts knew the urgent need was to shelter and nurture girls, giving them hope, care, and a chance at a brighter future.
Most of our students come from challenging circumstances — nearly, 40% students are single parents, 25% are daily wage Labourers, 15% students are orphans and 20% are others. Through a combination of academic excellence and value-based education, these children are transforming their lives.
Our alumni stand as shining examples — many have completed Intermediate and vocational courses, some have secured stable employment, while others have joined Nursing programs at NIMS and Mahaveer Hospital. Sai Seva Sangh supported their higher education through bank loans, covering interest and surety until they become self-reliant.
