We Are One in Service

We believe in our deep connection to one another and to all of humanity. This spirit of oneness fuels MAA Humanitarian’s decades-long commitment to serving the world’s most vulnerable—through disaster relief, women’s empowerment, hunger relief, cataract surgery, and more. Guided by the vision and blessings of Her Holiness Sai Maa, we invite you to join us in continuing this legacy of global service.

Let us serve each other with the love of each other, with the grace of each other, to succeed in healing humanity, to succeed in what’s happening now on the planet.”

Our Initiatives

Hunger Relief

Six days a week, the Ashram staff provides the Varanasi community with breakfast, which means that at least one meal of the day is guaranteed for anyone who is hungry.

Gift of Sight

Cataracts are widespread in underserved communities across India, particularly among the elderly. Contributing factors like poor nutrition, low-quality cooking oil, and limited health education increase the risk. Each year, the Ashram team and dedicated doctors screen over 500 individuals, providing free cataract surgeries to all in need, along with medicine and eyeglasses to hundreds more.

Medical Camps

Our India staff and medical professionals—including chiropractors, OB-GYNs, ophthalmologists, and general physicians—welcome underserved community members to free medical exams, treatment, and essential medicines. For many, this is their only access to healthcare.

Women’s Empowerment

The Dreams to Degrees program empowers young women from underserved communities to pursue higher education by providing full scholarships, mentorship, and essential resources. Through this support, students gain the tools and confidence to transform their futures and uplift their communities.

Global Disaster Relief

From hurricane relief in Naples, tsunami support in Japan, feeding the hungry in Marita, oxygen generators in Bharat (India) and wherever the need calls us, your generous donations go directly towards bringing emergency relief to the world’s most vulnerable.

Greatest Need Fund

When you give to our general fund, your donation goes exactly where it’s needed most—supporting urgent needs and impactful programs as they arise. It’s the most flexible and powerful way to serve those in greatest need.
