Sikhi Awareness Foundation (known as SAF International) was founded in Canada in 2014 to support poverty alleviation in India. SAF International follows the Sikh principle of selfless service to humanity in its work for development and social change.

SAF International’s activities help provide the disadvantaged access to quality education and basic needs (e.g. sanitation, clean water, etc…). The NGOs first major initiative was its child education sponsorship initiative, the Bloom Literacy Program. In addition, SAF provides gurmat education but only for those who identify as Sikhs. Please note that SAF International’s work for poverty alleviation and development is inclusive of all people regardless of race, religion, or caste.

The broad areas of focus for SAF International is Punjab and Sikligar communities across India. Sikligars are a population of Sikhs who have been forgotten and are unknown by the mainstream Sikh community. Sikligar Sikhs were metal work labourers who were first recruited by Guru Hargobind Sahib to develop arms. Thereafter Guru Gobind Sahib gave them the title Sikligars which means ‘polisher of weapons’ in Persian. SIkligars held a special importance in the Sikh community being the weapon makers for the Khalsa Army up until the time of Maharajah Ranjit Singh.

SAF International will use the Dasvand Network platform to fund development projects for Sikligar communities across India. In addition, SAF will also provide Gurmat Education to connect Sikligar youth with their Sikh heritage.
