CEO and Executive Director Kate Moynihan on how Seva intends to meet the challenges of the year ahead.

Spirit of Service: “Investing in human beings is investing in a transformational system.”
– Sunita Arora, Seva Trainer

Some years test our strength. Others reveal it.

Rich Gosse has poured his heart into two passions for the past couple of decades: bringing single people together and supporting Seva. 

Rich founded The Society of Professional Singles decades ago and has been nudging Cupid ever since. Every year, he hosts over 50 mixers, trips, and parties where people meet face-to-face, just like in the good old days. But here’s the twist – every event doubles as a fundraiser for Seva.

Right now, somewhere in the world, someone is seeing clearly for the first time – thanks to you.

Through Seva, your compassion does more than restore sight. It brings back the sparkle in a child’s eye, the confidence in a mother’s stride, and the independence of a grandfather finding his way again.
