Resettle Afghan Sikh and Hindu Refugees

UNITED SIKHS Begins to Resettle Afghan Sikh & Hindu Refugees.

Afghan refugees who were brought to India from Afghanistan after the #taliban takeover in August 2021 had to leave everything they knew behind.

They had to abandon the only country they knew, the only neighborhood they knew, the only life they knew. About 150 of these refugees came to UNITED SIKHS requesting the organization to arrange for political asylum for them so that they can start their life afresh and be safe and secure.

UNITED SIKHS Legal Advocates have worked diligently to prepare, assist and document the cases and subsequently appealed to several countries to grant asylum.
Out of the global outreach, so far Gobierno de México has agreed.

In the pilot phase, 2 Afghan refugees have departed to Mexico. The journey to a new life has begun. The itinerary is such - from Delhi to Dubai to Barcelona to Mexico.
The UNITED SIKHS team is coordinating with the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dubai to oversee that the arrangements are all taken care of and that there are no difficulties or issues in this journey.

This painstaking work is only possible because of the support of our donors, the dedication of our volunteers and the grace of Waheguru.
We will continue to keep the sangat updated.
