Serving with Transparency
Sanjha Seva Trust
A registered charitable trust working across education, health, water and livelihoods in Rajasthan and Gujarat since 1998. Every rupee accounted for, every story told.
Why trust us
Governance you can verify
We publish what most trusts file away — accounts, audits and the wall outside the panchayat.
Public Audits, Not Brochures
Social audits every six months, with village-wise expenditure walls and registers open for anyone to inspect.
Registered & Compliant
80G, 12A, FCRA and Rajasthan Trust Act — all certificates downloadable in Filings, renewed on time.
Track the Rupee
Every donation mapped to a programme and village. Annual report shows cost per girl, per structure, per camp.
Community Staff, Not Visitors
82% of our 62-person team is from the blocks we serve. Leadership rotates every year.
Seva programs

Voices
What communities say
“My daughter got a bicycle in Class 8. Now she goes to school even when the track is sand. The didis at the centre call if she misses two days. That has never happened before.”
“We set our own rate. Last year my collective earned enough to repair the roof before monsoon. My husband now asks before deciding — that is also income.”
“Their duplicate book and fixed-day camps have made my PHC's follow-up rate double. They bring patients back, not just diagnoses.”

Why Desert Schools Need Libraries, Not Just Tablets
Fifteen rooms, 11,000 books and a travelling van — what a year of reading in the Thar taught us about quiet infrastructure.
