:: Humanitarian Mission in Guyana ::

Mission:

The Humanitarian Mission of the New Jersey Arya Samaj Mandir, Inc. is dedicated to helping children, seniors, and other individuals who are living in dire poverty. This possibility is accomplished through the generosity of our contributors, sponsors, and caregivers, by providing children and other individuals with program benefits and services that meet their basic everyday needs in order to enhance their human dignity and raise their physical and educational levels in a meaningful and lasting way. Our vision is that each person will grow into a healthy, educated, and self-reliant individual.

To create possibilities and to improve the lives of the less fortunate and under-privileged children by empowering them through the power of education in poor communities and to build stronger children by empowering and encouraging them to improve their lives.
