The Support Network for South Asians (SN4SA) was started by a group of concerned people to understand and address the issues faced by our community living in and around Metropolitan St. Louis metro.
Our Vision
We envision a thriving South Asian community where individuals of all ages will be able to transform their lives and feel empowered to seek care that respects their cultural values.
Our Mission
The Support Network for South Asians is committed to empowering immigrants and diaspora from South Asian countries – including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, and Afghanistan – by connecting them with essential services, resources, and opportunities.
Our Approach
We work with existing services, not instead of them. Our role is to:
- Bridge the gap between you and available resources
- Help service providers better understand our community
- Create culturally appropriate pathways to support
- Adapt our services as community needs evolve
How we Help

The Support Network for South Asians is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the South Asian community through culturally responsive programs and referrals.
