Kirrt Yatra grows from years of grassroots engagement in Punjab through Sanjhi Sikhiya’s work in public education and youth leadership. Our experience has shown that meaningful change requires proximity. Not just support from afar, but direct engagement with communities, institutions, and the systems shaping everyday life.
Through earlier Punjab Yatras across 18+ districts, we saw how immersive journeys deepen understanding, build lasting relationships, and inspire sustained commitment to community work. Kirrt Yatra builds on that foundation, with a curated cohort focused on learning, reflection, and hands-on engagement inspired by Guru Nanak Sahib’s principle of Kirrt.
Why This Project Matters? What makes it important?
Punjab carries a deep legacy of resilience and community strength while navigating challenges in education, agriculture, migration, and public health. Addressing these issues requires collaboration between community leaders, youth, institutions, and thoughtful professionals.
Kirrt Yatra creates space for this collaboration through immersion in villages and grassroots initiatives across Punjab. Participants engage directly with communities, contribute through small social action projects, and gain grounded perspective on the region’s realities and possibilities.
The journey strengthens both learning and action.
Participation Contribution
Kirrt Yatra follows a sliding-scale contribution model to make the journey accessible while sustaining the real costs of the immersion. Participants are invited to choose a contribution level that reflects their capacity, while remembering that those who give more help make participation possible for others.
How can donors help?
Donors can support this initiative by contributing toward participant's immersion costs and by strengthening Sanjhi Sikhiya’s ongoing grassroots programs in education and youth leadership.
Contributions not only enable the journey itself but also ensure that community partners are supported. And also by paying forward for somone enables the access for participants who may require financial consideration.
Funds raised will be used to:
• Cover immersion logistics including travel, food, and community stays
• Support facilitation and coordination across districts
• Strengthen hosting community partners
• Sustain Sanjhi Sikhiya’s grassroots work in education, youth leadership, and community development across Punjab
