Sikhs have a long history in Afghanistan from the days of Guru Nanak Sahib’s visits to spread the message of universal peace and compassion (see graphic below). This 500-year history unfortunately is coming to an end with the last few families seeking refuge for a safer future.

Our teams have been part of the latest chapter of Sikhs in Afghanistanin the capacity of humanitarian missions serving minority communities that have been under constant attacks in recent years.

We have provided:

  • Emergency aid to the families of those killed and injured in terrorist attacks.

  • Medical aid to combat the adverse effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

  • Documentation services to get these communities to safe horizons outside of Afghanistan.

  • Paid the processing fee for almost 400 passports for 87 families.

  • 24/7 Afghan helpdesk in India for Afghan refugees to help them with immediate needs: medical services, daily essentials, unmet needs and housing-related costs.

  • High-level communication with international governments and agencies for permanent relocation of Afghan refugees to rebuild lives in a free and safe environment.

  • Food Bank to serve urgent needs of minority communities left in Kabul and Jalalabad.

Our work is not done yet. With your support, we will work towards the next safer, healthier and freedom-full chapter in the lives of hundreds of refugees from Afghanistan.
