Seb's Projects India - Building Brighter Futures
Working with marginalized tribal children and communities in the Jawadhi Hills, Vellore — providing education, healthcare, nutrition, and sustainable livelihoods. Because everyone deserves a chance.
Rooted in the Jawadhi Hills, Growing with the Community
Seb's Projects India works with the marginalized tribal communities of the Jawadhi Hills in Vellore district, Tamil Nadu. Where there are no roads, there are no teachers, and no doctors. Tribal communities often fall into the gap between conservation and development.
Through our programs we distribute over 30 scholarships a year, run 10 primary schools in remote areas for over 500 children, operate nutrition centres (Balwadis) for pregnant and nursing mothers, and empower women through skill development and livelihood initiatives.
Because everyone deserves an education, healthcare, and a chance at a better life.

Real stories of transformation from the children and communities of Jawadhi Hills.
Samundi
Samundi started her schooling at Seb's primary school in Thandayankotai. She went on to complete her B.Sc Nursing at M.A. Chidambaram College in Chennai — the first tribal girl in her village to pursue higher education. She was selected by SRM Multi Speciality Hospital and now works as a proud health professional.
Thirumagal & Anuja
Thirumagal and Anuja from tribal villages joined the Nursing course at M.A. Chidambaram College in Chennai — continuing the legacy of empowerment through education that Seb's Schools enable.
Jayasudha
Jayasudha, a homemaker whose husband works as a wage labourer, was determined to contribute to her family's income. After attending the Focus Business School training, she purchased a pair of goats with the support of Jan and Inger Vasshus — opening a reliable income stream and a small-scale business that supports her family in the long run.
Village Education Committees
VECs bring together parents, teachers and local leaders — creating a space where every child's learning is a collective responsibility. Their involvement has grown school strength, reduced seasonal migration, and turned parents into active advocates who visit, contribute and shape education with their own hands and hearts.
