SEAL (Social & Evangelical Association for Love) is a non-governmental effort to rehabilitate the destitute from the streets and Railway platforms of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, situated at New Panvel (New Bombay), Maharashtra, India. SEAL had a humble beginning on 15th November 1999 with a noble vision divinely imparted by God the Almighty. Our main focus is to rescue the destitute, give them food, s
helter, supervised medical care and especially share the love of God. Thereafter, find out the whereabouts of the person and reunite them with their families. If no one comes across to receive them then SEAL will be the permanent abode. Presently in our shelter home nearly 200 underprivileged people mainly HIV & TB, patients, mentally challenged, handicapped, visually impaired and fully orphaned, leading a meaningful life. You may see the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC71yCc7ipk to know more about our work. So far SEAL could reunify 200 people back to their long awaiting dear families to all over India; otherwise they might have been thrown in oblivion forever. Most of them were vagabonds and missing from home for long periods. Above and all SEAL is proud that we could provide a peaceful, mercy death bed and funeral / burial with dignity to 203 dear ones among the destitute we gathered from Mumbai City and elsewhere at terminal stages and with fatal diseases, those who were supposed to die as stray dogs. Our God's Valley Mission School educates our 46 children whom we have rescued till date. Most of these kids are sick, HIV/AIDs infected, handicapped, blind and are unable to get admission in outside schools because of their sickness and over age. We have classes up to 7th standard with dedicated teachers to give them education. Today, SEAL is one of the major referral points for more than 25 NGOs, Mumbai Police, Navi Mumbai Police, Railway Police, Medical Colleges, Municipal Hospitals and well-wishers in the city. The National dailies like Times of India, Hindustan Times and other formidable papers reckon our modus operandi in rescue and reunification being covered. We have 13 acres of land at New Panvel and have constructed more than 25,000 sq. area for our shelter homes, school, kitchen, dining hall and office facility. SEAL also has immediate plans for expansion and wants to provide better facilities to the current and future residents. We have started the construction of our 5th floor Mercy Mines Building to give separate and proper accommodation with better facility to our girls and boys separately. We also wish to have our own hospital facility in the same building as we are facing lot of problem to give proper medication to the patients whom we rescue from the street. We are also blessed with 23 dedicated staff and many volunteers who shoulder the mission along with us. So far SEAL does not have any permanent supporters either in India or abroad but God the Almighty is taking us through miraculously with His Heavenly provision. Thank you all for your love, care and support. May God bless you all richly!!!
