“As an offering of love to Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba on His 95th Birthday, the SSIO initiated a programme titled Global Adoption of 95 Communities. As part of the programme, we plan to adopt at least 95 communities around the world, in a sustainable manner. The goal of this project is transformation of the heart – for both SSIO volunteers and the recipients of the service, as taught by Bhagawan.
Our mission is to make a difference in the lives of needy people by providing education, healthcare, food, shelter, drinking water, and other services. I urge all SSIO members to participate in this wonderful opportunity.” Narendranath Reddy, M.D., letter to members of the SSIO, April 12, 2018 |
Projects include free services for maintaining the environment, education, support youth, medical treatment and medicine, women’s progress and welfare and children.
