These women opened the doors of Narika by use of an informal familial model of service, engaging victims as sisters rather than clients, and providing assistance in several different languages. Their initiative duly evolved into the organized non-profit that today proudly serves the Bay Area as Narika. https://www.narika.org/leadership daily 0.75 2026-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc78e7c9b8fe80d52500a91/298de15b-3d9a-4d06-a257-fba85b8d6fc9/Sanjay+photo.jpg Our Board - Sanjay Singh President, Board of Directors Sanjay, a long-time resident of Tri-Valley, embodies the spirit of community service and dedication to social causes.
