Supporting Education in Panjab
Project summary
Khalsa Aid’s Focus Panjab programme supports children from marginalised and underprivileged communities by helping remove financial barriers to education.
For many families facing financial hardship, education can become difficult to sustain. This project helps reduce that burden by supporting children with free or subsidised education, school fee assistance and opportunities for academic development.
By investing in education, Khalsa Aid is helping young people build a stronger foundation for their future, with the confidence, skills and support they need to pursue meaningful opportunities in Panjab.
How we are helping
Khalsa Aid’s education work in Panjab is rooted in the principle of Seva (selfless service) and a long-term commitment to strengthening communities.
This support helps children and young people continue their studies and access opportunities that may otherwise be out of reach. It also encourages self-reliance by helping young people develop the knowledge and skills needed to build meaningful lives locally.
By supporting education in Panjab, Khalsa Aid is helping families look towards a future where young people have greater choice, stability and opportunity within their own communities.
Institutions and areas of support include:
• Dashmesh Public School
• General School Fee Assistance
• Shaheed Sardar Sham Singh Attari School
• Flood-affected Areas
• UPSC exam preparation
