Sahaita Incorporated is a non-profit organization with the primary purpose of helping impoverished children and elderly in the state of Punjab, India, and in the state of California, USA. We will work towards making the elderly and disabled persons in society self reliant and live in more cordial atmosphere.

Sahaita's Appeal The word 'Sahaita' is used in both Hindi and Punjabi language. The literal meaning of "Sahaita" is "to help" or "to support". Every now and then somewhere in this world, human beings suffer due to man made, or natural disasters. In the third world countries, everyday, poor children and elderly struggle for basic survival, food, health, and education. The number of destitute children and elderly people is on the rise as economic stresses increase day by day. We the members of Sahaita appeal to the fortunate among us to wholeheartedly help the unfortunate among us.

Our Vision "That the children in our society are happy, healthy and well educated That the elderly in our society can live with dignity and self-respect” Our Mission "Hold and support a frail hand; Bring smile on an innocent sad face; Afford dignity to the less fortunate”

Sahaita's motto "A good deed is the most rewarding and satisfying act." A small token of love, affection, and wealth can go a long way to help the unfortunate in our society. Sahaita will help to provide resources that are readily available to the needy children and elderly regardless of their status, background, religion or caste.
