100 Year Seva Activities

SSSGC USA REGION 2 - 100 Year Seva Activities in Dome

Baby Cap Service

This community service initiative focused on creating handmade baby caps using knitting looms. These caps will be donated to a local children’s hospital to provide warmth and comfort to newborns and infants in need.This initiative is open to men, women, and children of all ages. No prior experience or specialized skills are required. The activity is beginner-friendly,with supplies, instructions,  and guidance provided to ensure that all participants can contribute meaningfully.

NICU Crib Mattress Cover

This community service activity will focus on creating crib mattress covers for infants. These will be donated to the local NICU hospitals to provide comfort to the new born children in need. This is a hands-on service activity.

Supplies and instructions will be provided. Sewing experience is completely optional. This activity is open to men, women and YAs.

Reusable Sanitary Pad Kit Service

This community service activity will focus on creating reusable sanitary pads for girls and women in underserved communities. Our Sai team has previously undertaken similar large-scale pad preparation efforts in Puttaparthi, and this workshop allows us to continue the mission with love and practical action. 

During this hands-on workshop, we will cut, prep, and assemble high-quality reusable pads.

This is a hands-on service activity. 60% of the work involves prepping the pad components and only 40% involves sewing the final pads. Hence sewing experience is completely optional. 

Supplies and guidance will be provided. 

This activity is open to women and Female YAs.
