Key takeaways

Sewa UK's stated work on disaster relief, long-term rehabilitation, disability support, community health and education fits organisations already working in those areas, with a priority on India and wider reach across the globe.
Its annual report gives annual giving of £377,768, which may include grants to individuals, and no grant range is stated, so tie any request to a specific project rather than a guessed amount.
It says it works with established, reputable local organisations with deep community knowledge, so a small group should show its local partners and culturally sensitive, locally driven plans with lasting impact.
No application process is published in its annual report, register entry or website, so use the contact shown to ask whether it takes approaches before writing a full proposal, and expect the timing to be unclear.
Nothing it publishes says who should not apply, and with no published process, how competitive it is cannot be judged.
