UNITED SIKHS is a UN-affiliated, international non-profit organization which works for human development and is aimed at helping those in need, especially disadvantaged and minority communities across the world. We began our journey in 1999 when a group of Sikhs from the New York metropolitan area banded together to assist in the socio-economic development of immigrant communities in Queens, New York. Today, we are a grass-root organization with chapters in America, Asia and Europe that pursue projects for the spiritual, social and economic empowerment of underprivileged and minority communities. Our mission is to transform, alleviate, educate and protect the lives of underprivileged, individuals and minority communities impacted by disasters, natural or man-made. We at UNITED SIKHS believe that the development of enlightened and progressive societies can be made possible by socially conscious groups of people. UNITED SIKHS is committed to the promotion of diversity and equal opportunities amongst its employees, volunteers and project beneficiaries.
