Seva Mandir's mission is to make real the idea of society consisting of free and equal citizens who are able to come together and solve the problems that affect them in their particular contexts. The commitment is to work for a paradigm of development and governance that is democratic and polyarchic. Seva Mandir seeks to institutionalise the idea that development and governance is not only to be left to the State and its formal bodies like the legislature and the bureaucracy, but that citizens and their associations should engage separately and jointly with the State. The mission briefly, is to construct the conditions in which citizens of plural backgrounds and perspectives can come together and deliberate on how they can work to benefit and empower the least advantaged in society.

In the short-term, through our Fellowship program, we provide an opportunity to Afghanistan's most promising university graduates to serve as full-time teachers to children from low-income communities in most under-resourced schools. During this experience of teaching in classrooms and working with stakeholders like students, principals, and parents, our Fellows get exposed to the grassroots realities of education system and develop the knowledge, skills, and mindsets necessary to attain positions of leadership in the education system. In the long-term, we engage these leaders, our Alumni, and support this movement of leaders. Our Alumni work in diverse roles within the education sector, as teachers, teacher-trainers, school principals, curriculum designers, entrepreneurs all with a shared purpose to build a movement for educational equity that will maximize the progress towards that day when all children have the opportunity to attain an excellent education. TAO wants to streamline Afghan diaspora who has major giving capacity and want to contribute back to the community. Unfortunately, we are still a new organization and partnering with global giving will give us another accreditation and credibility of work making it easier for people who are not able to donate us. Other than that, our main aim to reach more and more people and impact more students which needs considerable support from Afghan diaspora around the world.
