The India staff, under the guidance of Jagadguru Sai Maa, is dedicated to uplifting vulnerable communities across India—both in rural areas and in the heart of its cities. Their work reaches women, children, and families who often face the greatest hardships and the least access to essential resources. Through hunger relief, medical camps, cataract surgery programs, and women’s empowerment initiatives, the team brings meaningful support to those who are too often overlooked. Rooted in the principles of love, service, and oneness, the India staff’s humanitarian efforts are a living expression of divine compassion that honors the dignity of every soul.

India is home to one of the world’s largest populations of people facing hunger and undernutrition. In the communities we serve, many families live in extreme poverty, where providing enough nutritious food for their children can be a daily struggle.
Through our Feed a Family program, MAA Humanitarian responds where the need is greatest—providing families with bags of essential groceries and offering nourishing meals to entire communities. Whether helping a mother put food on her family’s table or serving hundreds of people at a community meal, your support helps ensure that those facing hunger receive both nourishment and care.
Cataracts are widespread in underserved communities across India, particularly among the elderly. Contributing factors like poor nutrition, low-quality cooking oil, and limited health education increase the risk. The India team arranges for dedicated doctors to screen individuals, provide free cataract surgeries to all in need, along with medicine and eyeglasses to those in need.
Our India staff and medical professionals—including chiropractors, OB-GYNs, ophthalmologists, and general physicians—welcome underserved community members for free medical exams, treatment, and essential medicines. For many, this is their only access to healthcare.
The Dreams to Degrees program empowers young women from underserved communities to pursue higher education by providing full scholarships, mentorship, and essential resources. Through this support, students gain the tools and confidence to transform their futures and uplift their communities.
