1. Fitness Centres: Fighting Drugs and Building Future Leaders
To combat the drug menace plaguing Panjab, our youth icon Kunwar Amritbir Singh has launched a campaign to establish fitness centres in villages across the region. Drawing inspiration from his own remarkable fitness journey and world record achievements, including breaking Bruce Lee’s Guinness World Record for the most push-ups in one minute, Kunwar Amritbir Singh is inspiring young people to embrace fitness as a lifestyle and become contributing members of society. Our teams also offer tracksuits to all who join these centres. The number of fitness centres has rapidly grown to 14. Your support is essential to ensure the continued expansion and success of these centres, helping to steer our youth away from drugs and towards healthier lives.
2. Empowering the Sikligar Sikhs
The Sikligar Sikhs, known for their historical contributions in serving Sikh Gurus face significant challenges today. Traditionally ironsmiths who crafted and polished weapons, they were bestowed the title of “Sikligar,” meaning ‘polisher of weapons,’ by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth Sikh Guru. Today, they are marginalized, living in poverty and often lacking access to basic social services. Our team in Panjab is actively working to provide them with suitable employment opportunities by engaging with local industries.Recently, we arranged a visit for a group of200 Sikligar Sikhs to Darbar Sahib in Amritsar, ensuring they had the necessary accommodations and initiating talks with industries for employment opportunities. UNITED SIKHS Director Devinder Singh emphasizes our collective responsibility to support this community. Your contributions are vital in helping us continue this crucial work and ensure the Sikligar Sikhs lead respectable and dignified lives.
3. Project Kirti: A Path to Self-Reliance
Our Kirti Project continues to offer hope for those seeking economic self-reliance. In Ludhiana, our team assisted Jagjit Singh by providing a packaging machine to help him start his journey of self-employment. After learning about the Kirti Project, Jagjit Singh reached out for assistance in setting up and selling his household cleaning products. Our team helped him acquire the necessary equipment. Now, he procures raw materials and packages his products,earning a dignified living for himself and his family. Similarly, we continue to offer e-rickshaws, sewing machines and other items to enterprising boys and girls, empowering them to become financially independent.
Your constant support is empowering numerous families to achieve respectable livelihoods.
These projects are just a few examples of the impactful work being carried out in Panjab, thanks to your generosity. We are immensely grateful for your support, which makes these transformative initiatives possible.
