JivaSeva Services

💡 Connecting People Who Wish to Serve

Many temples, charitable organizations, community groups, and social service initiatives depend on volunteers, yet coordinating these efforts is often done through phone calls, spreadsheets, or messaging groups.

JivaSeva Connect will provide a simple application where organizations can:

• Publish volunteer opportunities.
• Create service activities and individual tasks.
• Specify schedules, locations, contact information, and requirements.
• Coordinate volunteers before and during events.
• Track participation and task completion.

Volunteers will be able to discover opportunities aligned with their interests, register for activities, receive updates, communicate with organizers, and contribute their time more effectively.

This service will be supported through an easy-to-use mobile application.

💡 Empowering Acts of Giving Small Donations

JivaSeva Giving is an initiative that promotes charitable giving at temples, pilgrimage sites, and community spaces.

Many people wish to offer small cash donations to those in need at temples, pilgrimage sites, and community spaces. Traditionally these acts of generosity depended on carrying loose change. Today, as society moves toward digital payments, many of us no longer carry cash—or when we do, we rarely have small denominations. As a result, the opportunity to give is often lost, even when the desire to help is present.

JivaSeva Giving seeks to preserve and encourage these everyday acts of generosity through a gradual three-phase approach.

The first phase of JivaSeva Giving—Assisted Giving—is planned for the near term.

Phase 1 – Assisted Giving

JivaSeva volunteers operate service stalls or kiosks at participating locations. Visitors make a UPI payment to JivaSeva and receive the equivalent value in small denomination currency, enabling them to immediately offer assistance to those in need.

Phase 2 – JivaSeva Vouchers

Instead of distributing physical currency, JivaSeva will introduce vouchers in various denominations. Donors purchase these vouchers at JivaSeva stalls or kiosks and hand them directly to individuals in need. Recipients can redeem the vouchers at participating JivaSeva stalls for their full value.

This approach addresses the challenge of obtaining small denomination notes or coins. Beyond replacing physical currency, vouchers also create opportunities for partnerships with participating merchants who may choose to offer additional benefits or discounts, increasing the value received by those in need.

Phase 3 – Fully Digital Giving

The long-term vision for JivaSeva Giving is a digitally enabled experience. Donors will be able to maintain a JivaSeva digital wallet (mobile app), configure preferred donation amounts, scan a recipient's QR code, and make anonymous donations instantly from within the app.

Recipients can obtain a physical QR code at any JivaSeva stalls / kiosks. Recipients may optionally associate a photograph or other identifying information to help verify their identity if their physical QR code is lost or damaged. Recipients can visit any participating JivaSeva stalls to redeem the donations they have received.

Throughout every phase, the objective remains the same: to make small acts of giving immediate, dignified, and accessible for everyone.

Every community has people who need support.

• Elderly living alone.
• Children living in orphanage.
• Sick people in hospitals.
• Differently abled needing assistance.

Communities also possess remarkable strengths — people willing to help.

JivaSeva seeks to strengthen these connections by creating practical ways for communities to care for one another.
