Our Guiding Principles
The Seva Foundation is dedicated to finding skillful means to relieve suffering. We call this compassion in action. We do not base our approach upon an ideology or religious affiliation, but we do have guiding principles:

*We affirm both the rational and the intuitive in all our work.
*We respect the spiritual and cultural roots of individuals and communities in helping them to create sustainable solutions.
*We seek long-term solutions that will support economic independence while remaining committed to methods that are environmentally sound.
*We promote solutions to problems that come from within individuals and communities. This principle is inherent in Seva's concept of self-reliance.
*We listen attentively to the people with whom we work and to each other. This kind of listening deepens intercultural understanding, allows lasting relationships to develop, and brings "wholeness" to our work.
*We are flexible in responding to the changing needs and conditions of the people and programs we help. We follow their lead in establishing goals and setting schedules.
