The full year has been a year of experimentation, learning and evolving. The year threw-up many challenges that made us capable to handle the situation. We faced, we learned, we resolved…! But not a single situation could change our zeal of working for the favour of poor. The path was not been smooth, but we never gave a single scope to deviate ourselves from our vision. Rural poor and vulnerable community has always been at the centre of everything. And we believe that long lasting change at grassroots can only be brought with the active participation of the mass. We have now jumped into a team of 48 professionals from 14. The team is blessed with the continuous support of more than 150 volunteers working dedicatedly for social, financial and moral development of the society. We are delighted to have exceeded our targets in our all seventeen projects. We have strengthened and streamlined our intervention through regular monitoring, evaluation and strategic guidance. Timely decision making was also done throughout the year. With the continued trust, encouragement and support from the partners, we were able to impact the lives of more than 0.2 million rural households through our previous and current projects spread across the remotest and hardest areas of 5 states of Eastern India. We are expressing our special gratitude to our beneficiaries, partners, funders, mentors, other stakeholders and well-wishers for keeping faith on us. We are thankful to everyone who has supported us conceptually, financially and in all manner of other ways. Thanks to the full team of 4S, without the dedicated effort of whom, growth of the organization was not possible. This year we were fortunate enough to see so many glorious moments. We would like to present a glimpse of that in this Annual Report. 15th April, 2019 Mihir Sahana Executive Director 3 Annual Report: 2018-19 Sarva Seva Samity Sanstha Content 1.

History and Evaluation of the organization 4S has started its journey to work with the poorest populace in difficult and far flung areas of Bihar. Gaya in Bihar was the district selected to start its work, where it got registered in 2003. 4S has got its initial mentorship and institutional support from Indian Grameen Services (IGS), with which it supported promotion of large number of women SHG in Bankebazar block of Gaya district. The organization also helped the SHGs to federate and start a woman run SHG federation, which later got registered under the State Mutual Cooperative Act. Since inception till date, Bihar is the major focus area of 4S. Members of 4S realized that for growth of the organization and to fulfill the mission of the organization, 4S needs to induct more professional members, and follow prudent systems of governance. With the change in Management and Governance, 4S is now striving to increase its client-base and has developed its capacities in various areas which will enhance the livelihoods of the poor families. 4S, besides getting guidance and monetary support from IGS in its initial days and after its professional outlook, has increased its capacities through the support from the Tata Trust, Micro Insurance Academy, ACC, IGSSS, SEWA Bharat and Water for India Trust on various aspects starting from capacity building of small and marginal farmers, imparting skill training, developing Micro insurance health products for vulnerable through community based SHG federation, Various livelihood activities and sanitation. 1.3.
