For 30 years Seva has supported Native American grassroots organizations dedicated to building healthy Native communities and sustainable programs. Seva supports partner projects that promote a more comprehensive concept of health by restoring indigenous knowledge, traditional farming methods, environmental wellness and self-reliant health prevention strategies that lead to diabetes-free Native communities.
