Our story
“Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime”. I heard these words growing up. I don’t know why, they have stayed with me.
It is with these emotions for “Seva” (Selfless-Service), we launched Uplift -You. After trying charity and donating money, I still felt dissatisfied. God and Life has been very kind, and time came when we had more free time, and it is time now to “walk the talk”.
We have created “Uplift-You” as a way to give back to our communities. We intend to “teach to fish, so that our student can feed themselves for a lifetime”.
