Sahaya International

Davis, California

Our Mission

Sahaya International, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, based in Davis, California. We consist of a diverse network of friends, who are committed to make a difference towards improving the quality of life in developing countries. We are 100% run by unpaid volunteers. Not a single penny is spent on salaries. We want to make sure that the maximum amount of your donation can go overseas to directly help the people who are in need. Through our volunteer efforts, we provide much needed assistance to social development projects in developing countries.

Who We Are

We are a network of friends who all volunteer their time to help reliable grassroots projects in developing countries that help underprivileged people. Sahaya International was founded by Dr. Koen Van Rompay, a renowned AIDS researcher at the University of California, Davis, after he made an inspiring trip to India. The story of how Sahaya started is documented in a short video that can be seen for free at www.sahayagoingbeyond.org (narrated by Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons).
