| Donate today to keep a child warm this winter |
| Hasan Abdal, Pakistan: UNITED SIKHS, in collaboration with the Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara, Bangkok, distributed humanitarian aid relief items including coats for the winter to more than 1,000 families in Hasan Abdal (Panja Sahib), Punjab, Pakistan. These families include Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), who have been uprooted from their homes in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan because of natural disasters and other conflicts. Further, many lack sources of income as a result of the situation. |
| We are doing everything we can to keep IDPs warm as they spend winter away from home, but we need your continued support! Please donate generously; no amount is too little. Your donations will help provide basic needs for disaster victims in Pakistan. |
