Services at SAHARA are provided at our main office a kind of a drop-in center located in the heart of Artesia which is also called “Little India.” Artesia boasts of a large South Asian population and is easily accessible to clients living in the area. Although SAHARA’s services are available to all community members regardless of race and ethnicity, one of the organization’s key strengths is its capacity to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services to individuals from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan, collectively referred to as South Asians.

The multilingual and bicultural staff and volunteers enable the organization to offer linguistically appropriate services to speakers of multiple South Asian languages, in addition to English. SAHARA’s clientele is South Asian (95%), Latino (2%), and other ethnicities (3%). The multilingual and bicultural SAHARA staff offers linguistically appropriate services to speakers of Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati, Urdu in addition to English.

All of SAHARA’s materials and brochures can be found in these languages.
