Your Support Continues to Guide Our Seva Missions

Dear Sangat ji,

With the blessings of Waheguru Ji and your support, UNITED SIKHS continues to transcend boundaries and geographies, to be able to take the fragrance of Sikh principles and tenets around the globe, to spread Guru Nanak Patshah’s message of Oneness, and embrace all and everyone in need, wherever they are.

Your faith in us has helped us set up more Chapters in Europe – in Ukraine and Denmark this year, strengthening our reach and resolve to serve, even if it meant risking our own lives to help those in need.

The sewa encompasses the following main areas of work — humanitarian aid, legal aid, human rights advocacy and community empowerment and education. Expertise in all of the aforementioned areas, along with our global presence, presents us with a unique strength to quickly mobilize our teams and resources whenever the need arises.

For instance, during the resettlement of the Afghan Sikh & Hindu refugees after attacks on a Gurudwara Sahib  in Afghanistan, our Sikh Aid team helped in their rescue, ensured humanitarian aid to them, while our legal teams liaised and coordinated with the governments of Afghanistan, India and Mexico to secure a new safe home for Afghan Sikhs — requiring quick coordination across our sewa verticals.

Our legal teams helped the young Sikh boys who had to face indiscriminate charges against them by the police in Nanded Sahib for crossing over the barricading and scuffling with the police, during the Hola Mahalla celebrations last year. While the UNITED SIKHS legal team had sought bail orders for many of them last year, several of them were still facing charges. UNITED SIKHS teams successfully availed anticipatory bails for 35 Sikhs.

For over 20 years, UNITED SIKHS continues to advocate for the victims of hate crimes, discrimination, bullying and other issues involving minorities. UNITED SIKHS has undertaken data collection on hate/bias crimes and incidents against Sikhs to ensure that justice is properly served. UNITED SIKHS works in North America, the United Kingdom and the rest of the world in partnership with other organizations to raise awareness of hate/bias-related incidents and crimes against Sikhs, and to encourage the practice of reporting such incidents within the Sikh community.

The Power of Your Giving Helps Us Empower our Communities — It is an Investment into a Better Present and a Stronger Future.
