About FP
Focus Punjab is a dedicated website for all the projects of Khalsa Aid in Panjab.Since the launch of Khalsa Aid in 1999 the Sikh community has been extremely generous in providing funds to assist the most needy in disasters around the globe.We are very proud and honoured to belong a community which has suffered immense persecution and hardship since the time of Guru Nanak and yet still empty their pockets to anyone who needs assistance, regardless of race, religion, caste etc.
It was felt by Khalsa Aid that the Sikh Diaspora want to be involved in Punjab to tackle various social issues ( Drugs epidemic, poverty, female feticide etc ) which are effecting their own villages and extended families.Our aim is to empower the local organisations in Punjab to educate the next generation of children to the dangers of drugs addiction etc and to finanically assist the most underprivileged to archive higher education.

PURE - Punjab Underprivileged Rural Empowerment
These children are sponsored by Khalsa Aid, they are encouraged to attend school and also Gurbani classes twice a week.The children come from very underprivileged backgrounds and areas of severe depravation.There is ever present threat of the children being lured into the dark world of drugs and amphetamines by individual dealers and various cults.
Khalsa Aid aims to engage whole families of these children in drugs awareness programmes as there is wide spread drugs and alcohol abuse in rural Panjab.There will be huge emphasis on providing stability within the family unit,which includes Khalsa Aid providing the family medical care.We are able to provide the children with education etc due to the generosty of the Sangat, so please continue to donate so that we may contiune to provide.
The choice is yours to make, support these children or see them become the next generation of illiterate drug addicts!!
Converting Sikhs
Sikhs Forced to Convert due to Poverty and Lack of Support from Sikh Community
Ravinder Singh from Khalsa Aid interviewing Shinda Singh, once proud and devout Sikh who was forced due to personal medical and financial reasons to convert into Christianity seven years ago. Although an active member in his community who could always be relied on for support, when he fell on hard times no Gurduwara Committee, organisation etc came to his aid. As now prevalent across Punjab Christian missionaries saw the lack of support from Shinda Singhs Sikh community as an opportunity for conversion, offering him medical and food provisions to become a Christian.
Please Support Khalsa Aid which has launched a huge project earlier this year in Punjab to tackle issues of poverty, drugs and literacy; sponsoring the education of Sikh children and supporting their family (food and medical), giving the Punjabi people an alternative than to give up their faith.
