Orphan Sponsorship Programme

The Jet Singh Trust now help run an orphanage with another charity (Khalsa Sewa) in Panjab, India. Recently a team went out to help build the new orphanage. We now also pay the fees for 15 girls to have an education, food, accommodation , clothing and medical treatments. Our next aim is to increase the size of the orphanage, buy them a plot of land so that the orphans have an outdoor playground/gym.

Background

The Khalsa Sewa Orphanage in Batala, Panjab was founded by Kulvinder in 2011. Her husband left her when she was three months pregnant with their child but instead of becoming bitter and resentful, she turned her life into one of amazing, loyal love.

Now the orphanage is home to thirty girls, all under 18. Cared for solely by Kulvinder, she organises the girls’ schooling, transport, clothing, food, medical needs, and pastoral care. These girls have no family of their own, Khalsa Seva is their family and home. The girls are kind, humble, hard-working and so polite – a real credit to the work of Kulvinder and those who support the orphanage.

How we are helping

The need to house more girls is increasing, so a team from the Jet Singh Trust travelled to Khalsa Sewa in October 2017, to help build a bigger site for the orphans. The team mixed cement, carried and laid bricks, to begin to build a more functional space for the girls. It is with the generous support of others that we can help improve these girls’ lives.

This program is designed to work with each child to monitor and improve their intellectual, psychological, emotional, and spiritual development. By working together, we can change the future of these children!
