Dear Sadharmik brothers and sisters,
Jai Jinendra!

JAINA brings you Manglik Pravachan for the Emergency India COVID Relief Sadharmik Fund & Humanitarian Aids on May 8, 2021, to raise funds for humaniterian support and services to our brothers and sisters in India.

For the Past year, JAINA has been collecting Sadharmik Bhakti funds for our Corona inflicted brothers and sisters in India and we are continuing with that effort.

Many of our members have inquired if JAINA has any humanitarian fund for the current unprecedented and catastrophic crisis engulfing all of India. In the emergency meeting of JAINA leaders on May 3rd, it was decided that JAINA will create an emergency Covid 19 fund drive by combining efforts of the World Community Service of JAINA (the committee that traditionally acts whenever or wherever disasters strike) and the Sadharmik Bhakti Committee of JAINA. Our members can choose to donate to the Humanitarian Fund of the World Community Service of JAINA or to the Sadharmik Committee of JAINA.

JAINA will honor donors' wishes as to how the funds will be utilized in India. We will send Humanitarian funds through our Trusted NGOs like Ratna Nidhi Charitable Trust in Mumbai and Sadharmik fund through Jain Education & Empowerment Trust of Mumbai(JEET).

Everyone is aware of the serious need for funds in India. With the launch of the Humanitarian fund by JAINA , you have double the reasons to donate. Please act urgently.

We Intend to support 3,000 needy Sadharmik families for 4 Months

Support per family will be $70 per month. You may sponsor as many families as you wish. We urge everyone to donate generously for this noble cause.

The Convention team is working around the clock to bring you an amazing experience and interesting events like Sunehri Yaadein celebrating JAINA’s 40 years, Rang De Sanskar Play with top theater and television actors, an epic musical ballet on the life of Bhagwan Mahavir, Dayro, and Bhakti, and many more.
