Dear family members & well-wishers, Greetings from Sai Anugraha.

Sai Anugraha was started on 1st January 2008 with a vision to extend helping hand to the needy and establishing a platform for spiritual aspirants. We completed 13 years and stepped in to 14th year of service and celebrated 13th Sai Anugraha Day on 1st January 2021.

In our journey of 13 years, we received an amount of ₹2,29,40,298.15/- (~US$ 327,718) and spent an amount of ₹2,12,31,440.34/- (~US$ 303,306) towards various initiatives such as Education Help, Medical Help, sapling plantation drives, Old age home visits, Orphanage home visits, relief & rehabilitation during natural calamities, digital classes etc. We also provided Blood donor details to the needy, supported blood donation camps, organized eye donation awareness camps, medical camps etc.

In this journey, we touched nearly 1,14,472 HEARTS & extended our helping hand.

2020 is completely a different and difficult period and experience to the world and we at Sai Anugraha as a family came together strongly and extended our helping hand to the families who lost livelihood because of COVID-19 by providing groceries, paying school/college fee for the kids etc. You can notice the donations graph below which shows an increase of 30.87 lakhs from last year which shows how responsible our family members are. We did not compromise on helping the needy inspite of difficulties and challenges faced.

“Coming together is the beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” – Henry Ford

Above quote exactly suits us. Isn’t? Let’s go ahead to know how we as a family marched ahead and helped to the best possible way during the toughest and most difficult times in our life.

Before we start our 2020 journey updates, we would like to thank and congratulate everyone for successfully completing 13 years of journey in serving the needy and creating a positive impact to the society. This would not have been possible without “Your Participation“, “Your dedicated Support & Encouragement” and most importantly the “Feeling of Oneness” and the “Concept of a Family“.

Let’s start with the fund inflow details of 2020. In 2020 we needed more money when compared to previous years because of COVID-19 where many people lost their livelihood and in need of groceries, paying school/college fee to their children etc. We received 34% of total donations only in the year 2020 which shows the Individual Social Responsibility of Sai Anugraha family members.

We started a new initiative “Chanting & Charity” in 2020 and with this our unique fundraising initiatives count is 2 i.e., Sharing is Caring and Chanting & Charity.

Below bar diagrams shows the amounts spent towards different initiatives in the year 2020 which will be explained in respective initiatives section.

Livable Planet earth

Inspired from the very last lecture given by Ex-President of India, a great teacher and a beautiful soul, Late Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, this initiative was renamed from “Let’s Green Our City” to “Livable Planet earth” devised in pursuit of a clean and green environment, and pollutants free water systems.

As part of this initiative, we conduct competitions to Government school students on various Go Green Topics, Science & Technology developments, National Integration, India and its varied Heritage, Festivals and traditions, National festivals etc. The main goal of this initiative is to create awareness, to remove stage fear, to bring out hidden talent by encouraging everyone to participate.

Regular plantation drives are a part of this initiative which tries to spread awareness related to sustainable development, water conservation, rural development and a safer world for women and children. As of today, we sponsored an amount of ₹1,45,438/- under this initiative.
