THE CONTEXT

2020 will be remembered as the year that changed our world in profound ways. The
COVID-19 pandemic has affected all of us, rich and poor countries, the developed
and the developing, and wrought much havoc on individual lives, too many to record
fully, too much to comprehend at one glance. However, 2020 will also be remembered
for bringing people and organizations together to respond to this global threat. Sewa
International was one of the organizations that was first off the blocks to begin
responding to the pandemic.

As a disaster relief organization, Sewa International had the expertise, and working
on many fronts and apprehending the enormity of the task, Sewa International leaders
realized the importance of joining hands with like-minded organizations to respond
comprehensively to the pandemic. Thus, we launched the “Sewa Sankalp” initiative
(see Appendix I). This report offers thumbnail sketches of organizations that have
worked with us at the local, regional, national, and international levels, contributing
money, time, and energies to the collective Sewa bucket.

Sewa International is grateful to all donors and supporters. While many of these
organizations, across the United States, have served their communities on their own
or with other partners, we are grateful to all those who joined us in this cooperative
and collaborative effort. We sought information from all of our partners so that they
can be given due credit in this report.

We apologize for any omissions or errors. Please contact us at
