Sarva Seva Sangh

What Sarva Seva Sangh does

Sarva Seva Sangh is a Pune-based nonprofit charitable society and trust founded in 1979 that serves vulnerable children and families in Maharashtra, India. The organization's primary beneficiaries are street children, children infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS, and families living in low-income or crisis situations; it currently reaches over 1,000 individuals annually across street outreach, HIV/AIDS programs, and family support services. Its core methodology is community-led doorstep service delivery rather than a fixed-institution model, exemplified by the Mobile School Program that brings education directly to children at traffic signals, on streets, and in low-income neighborhoods.

The service portfolio comprises ten interconnected programs: Mobile School, Child Protection, HIV/AIDS Support, Children's Parliament (Bal Sansad), Life Skill Camps, Family Support, Medical/Nutritional Assistance, Vocational Training, the annual Balmela festival, and Help Desk referral services. Notable programmatic components include the child-led Children's Parliament governance model (which secured CCTV installation at a Pune Municipal Corporation public toilet in October 2025), structured three-day Life Skill Camps, and partnerships with CYDA, Lighthouse, Budrani Eye Care, HPNN, CFAR, Tech Mahindra, VIPLA Foundation, PMC, PMPML, and the District Collector's Office. The organization is registered as a Society (MAH/167/79/PUNE), Trust (F-1267), with CSR (CSR00002406), 80G (AAATS5748KF20214), and NGO Darpan (MH/2017/0168669) certifications.

The revenue model is donation-based: individual donations (eligible for 80G tax benefits), corporate CSR grants, and government scheme facilitation that connects beneficiaries to entitlements rather than generating revenue. The organization employs approximately 8-20 staff across a Street Department and an HIV Department, governed by a seven-member General Body. Sarva Seva Sangh is not a technology company, has no software products, and operates entirely as a community-based social welfare organization with no disclosed financial statements, funding rounds, or external investors.

Broad incumbents

• CRY (Child Rights and You): One of India's largest child rights NGOs with pan-India reach. Operates a sponsorship model funding partner NGOs across child protection, education, and health - relevant comparable as a child-rights funder and policy advocate rather than direct service competitor.
• Save the Children India: Indian arm of global INGO working on child rights, education, health, and protection. Comparable beneficiary population and intervention mix; operates at national scale with multiple programmatic verticals similar to SSS's portfolio.
• Childline India Foundation: 1098 emergency helpline for children in distress, supported by Ministry of Women and Child Development. Directly comparable on child protection mandate; SSS beneficiaries are part of the population Childline serves.
• ActionAid India: National affiliate of ActionAid International working on women's rights, child rights, and social justice. Comparable on advocacy methodology and human-rights framing though operating at much larger scale.
• Pratham: One of India's largest education NGOs focused on literacy and learning outcomes for underprivileged children. Comparable on the education access mission though Pratham operates at vastly larger scale and broader geographic footprint.

Direct peers

• Apnalaya: Mumbai-based NGO serving slum and street communities with integrated education, health, and livelihood programs. Comparable service portfolio to SSS, particularly around last-mile government scheme linkage and family-level intervention.
• Butterflies (NGO): Delhi-based nonprofit running Children's Parliament-style governance models and child rights programs for street and working children. Closely comparable on advocacy methodology (child-led governance) and street-children focus.
• Catalysts for Social Action: Pune-headquartered NGO focused on child care institutions, family strengthening, and adoption support. Direct geographic peer with overlapping mission around vulnerable children and family reintegration.
• Maher (NGO): Pune-based NGO operating shelters and community programs for women, children, and families in distress. Direct geographic and mission peer to SSS, with comparable integrated service model and similar beneficiary profile.
• Salaam Bombay Foundation: Mumbai-based NGO working with at-risk youth and street children through in-school and out-of-school programs. Directly comparable to SSS in target population (street/at-risk adolescents) and service mix (education, life skills, livelihood), though operating at significantly larger scale.
