Manavseva Ashram is dedicated to the rescue, treatment, nurturing, protection, and family reunification of those forced to live under open skies, on streets, and in public spaces—especially the underprivileged, destitute, helpless, disabled, orphaned, and individuals who are physically and mentally vulnerable. The ashram officially commenced its services from its headquarters in Makwanpur, Hetauda on Bhadra 13, 2069 BS.

Furthermore, the ashram has declared its vision to build a Nepal free of street-dwelling individuals—specifically those unable to care for themselves and lacking any support—by BS 2082. With a resolve to effectively implement this vision, it is currently engaged in the rescue and dignified management of street-dwelling people in need, operating through 26 service centers across 20 districts in the seven provinces, as well as in all 77 districts and abroad in the United Kingdom, Qatar, and Australia. The ashram has also organized a grand yagyā to raise funds for constructing its own "temple of humanity."
