SevaChildren Norway is an international initiative that provides support for programs in India, in terms of professionalism and financial resources. It is our contacts and networks in India who know where the "shoe pushes" and who performs work aimed at village development, education, health care and running of orphanages. Because we work as a partner with an Indian organization, help comes to those who need it most.

SevaChildren Norway follows the guidelines of the Norwegian Control Committee for Fundraising in Norway. We aim to have a small and efficient administration in Norway. Therefore, we will strive to work within a maximum of 20 percent of the collected amount to be reserved for administration purposes in Norway. The Norwegian Control Committee for Fundraising in Norway allows for anything from 0% to 35% of the collected amount to be retained in Norway for administrative purposes. Of transferred funds to India, about 10 percent will be reserved for an Indian administration. The rest is transferred to the child and the projects. The annual report for 2016 shows that we used only 14% of the funds collected for administration in Norway
Most of the support comes from sponsors and other donors associated with the projects. We also seek support from financial institutions, governments, other voluntary organizations, companies, different schools, etc. Any contribution - big or small - is received with thanks!
The distribution is based on needs where the need is greatest.
