SEESHA

SEESHA SEESHA (Samiti for Education, Environment, Social and Health Action) is a non-profit organization empowering underprivileged communities across India.

Founded in the year 2003 by renowned philanthropist Dr. Paul Dhinakaran, SEESHA was originally started as a charity organisation. As the vision began to grow, its reach also widened to address the cause of downtrodden communities across India. Over the years, SEESHA’s approach has altered from charity to welfare and from welfare to holistic community development. Steadily growing into an entity of professionalism and experience, SEESHA now adopts villages in some of the poorest regions in India, working towards their holistic development. With a four-fold view of development, we focus on areas of Education, Health, Environment and Livelihood among the people we work with. Our target groups include children, youth, women, senior citizens, communities, differently-abled, persons in need of physiological and psychological care and victims of natural disasters.

From threads to transformation!

Through SEESHA’s free tailoring vocational training, women from deprived communities are transforming their lives & gaining financial freedom. Our comprehensive program empowers students from communities like Ayappakkam to master the art of garment construction, ranging from intricate blouses & churidars to beautiful children's frocks.

The impact is immediate: students are not only dressing themselves and their families but are also gaining the confidence to launch their own micro-businesses. By receiving high-quality instruction and support from SEESHA, these women are turning newfound skills into a steady income through community orders.
