The first COVID-19 lockdown in Cyprus disallowed anyone to work, causing inevitable financial struggle to many. This deeply affected the majority of immigrants, international students and seasonal workers. In association with Share Humanity Khalsa Aid began preparing and distributing free hot food to households in Cyprus to alleviate this difficulty.
During the first wave, volunteers from Share Humanity and Khalsa Aid obtained permits from local authorities, and proceeded to tirelessly deliver food parcels to hundreds of households, supporting over 3000 individuals throughout April until July 2020.
One of Khalsa Aid's primary areas of focus is providing immediate relief during natural disasters and conflicts. When disasters like earthquakes, floods, or tsunamis strike, Khalsa Aid is often among the first organizations on the ground, distributing food, water, medical supplies, and shelter to affected populations.
