Our Story / Who We Are
From a small initiative in 2011 to a state-wide movement for protection, awareness & empowerment.
Who We Are
Sewa Bhav Foundation
began its journey on 17 August 2011 with a simple belief:
“Every child deserves safety, every woman deserves dignity, and every community deserves awareness.”
What started as a handful of awareness workshops gradually shaped into a structured organization working across child protection, women’s safety, PoSH compliance, emotional wellbeing,Community Awareness & Education and community welfare.
Our Beginnings
Back in 2011, cases of child abuse, unsafe school environments, gender-based violence, workplace harassment, mental stress among youth and lack of awareness in rural/urban communities were rising — but very few organizations were working at the ground level on awareness + prevention + behavioural change.
Seeing this gap, Sewa Bhav Foundation began conducting:
- Safety sessions with school children
- Awareness programs with parents & teachers
- Women rights workshops
- Community welfare support
- Mentorship and counselling-based outreach
Slowly, communities began trusting the model — because our approach was personal, practical and deeply human-centered.
Who We Are Today
Today, Sewa Bhav Foundation:
- Trains children, women, teachers, youth, employees & communities
- Supports institutions in PoSH & POCSO compliance
- Works with corporates, PSUs and CSR partners
- Conducts child safety, cyber safety & community awareness programs
- Provides mental health & behaviour support through Samvedna
- Strengthens vulnerable families through welfare & inclusion programs
- Delivers women empowerment & legal rights awareness
- Builds safer schools through child protection systems & sensitization
Growing Into A Movement
Over time, word spread across:
- Schools
- Colleges
- Communities
- Panchayats
- Corporates
- Youth groups
- Women collectives
Our programs kept expanding as people started demanding:
- POCSO awareness
- PoSH training
- Legal literacy
- Emotional wellbeing support
- Behaviour transformation
- Digital literacy for safety
- Community inclusion
- Community Awareness & Education
What began as a small awareness initiative is now a 14+ year movement for safety, empowerment and social transformation across Uttarakhand.
We remain committed to our core philosophy:
“Awareness is protection. Behaviour is power. Safety is a right.”
