Inspired by the spirit of our founder SD RFC Masarenhas, since the inception of the Congregation, Bethany Sisters have championed the cause of the poor and the marginalized of the society especially women and girl children. In the year 1995 The Bethany Social Service Trust® (BSST) was registered.

It was a joyous moment on November 1, 2023 for Sahodaya Bethany Seva Kendra the unit of Bethany Social Service Trust® to be the recipient of Dakshina Kannada District Rajyothsava Award 2023 in recognition of our social service to humanity. For the past 28 years Sahodaya continuously renders selfless services to the women, children, youth, migrants, domestic workers and those in distress.
This accomplishment is a significant milestone in the history of Bethany Social Service Trust ® and its arm Sahodaya Bethany Seva Kendra. It is a great privilege and honour to receive this special award which in turn calls us for greater commitment and dedication to the needy humanity on the peripharries.
We take this opportunity to extend our thankfulness to District Rajyothsava celebration committee for selecting our NGO to receive this award. We are indebted to our Ex MLA Mr JR Lobo, and Mr Navin the Corporator for their recognition of our services and for recommending our NGO for the award. We aim to reach our goal to bring fullness of life for all especially the poor, and marginalised. Let the flag of Sahodaya Bethany Seva Kendra fly high and bring glory to God through the humanitarian services and continue to reflect the compassionate face of Jesus in response to the Charism of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Little Flower of Bethany.
