You Showed People a Way out of Poverty
Launched by the India Chapter of UNITED SIKHS in January 2023, Project Kirti has been offering economically disadvantaged individuals access to sustainable income-generating resources such as electric rickshaws, welding sets, and sewing machines. Designed to nurture the quintessentially Sikh value of earning one’s livelihood by the sweat of one’s brow.
Project Kirti is aligned with one of the key UN sustainable development goals – to promote sustainable economic growth and full, productive, and decent employment for all.

You Bailed Out Families in Distress
Pakistan’s ethnic Pashtun Sikhs have been frequent victims of targeted killings by gunmen in the recent past. In June and March 2023, Manmohan Singh and Dyal Singh were respectively shot dead in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Earlier in May 2022, shopkeepers Ranjit Singh and Kuljeet Singh were killed abruptly by two unidentified gunmen.

The men killed were primary breadwinners and their loss dealt a devastating blow to their families. The Pakistan chapter of UNITED SIKHS has been monetarily supporting the families of the slain men, including paying for their household expenses and children’s education.
Additionally, our team coordinated with the authorities – submitted paperwork, made rounds of various ministries, and followed up with government officials – to get a relief package sanctioned for the bereaved families.
You Saved Countless Lives
Vital to saving the life of a critical patient, ambulance transportation service can be expensive in India where millions subsist on less than $2 a day. Started in 2021 and subsequently expanded across north India, our ambulances have been transporting scores of patients facing health emergencies to hospitals, entirely free of cost. By ensuring timely access to medical attention, this extraordinary sewa is helping save lives in a BIG way!

Every time UNITED SIKHS’ free ambulance service helps save the life of a breadwinner, a marginalized family is potentially saved from a life of penury and destitution.
