Gifts of Literacy
Open doors for Mayan women in rural Guatemala and Mexico by providing educational opportunities they've never had before. Literacy instructors, women's support groups and community leadership trainers empower Mayan women with new skills and confidence - the roots of lasting solutions to poverty. Help them learn to read and write and give them the confidence to change their lives for good.
“Seva takes the impulse towards
generosity and turns it into
compassionate action that
helps people in real need.
I honor my friends and relations by giving to Seva

world benefits. I hope you’ll
join me.”
