Founded in 1999, it is a UK Registered Charity (#1080374) with the UK Charities Commission and also has volunteers in North America and Asia. Khalsa Aid has provided relief assistance to victims of disasters, wars, and other tragic events around the world. ActivitiesKhalsa Aid's very first mission in 1999 was to provide food and shelter to the refugees on the Albania-Yugoslavia border where thousands of victims of the war in Yugoslavia were taking shelter. During the new millennium in 2000, Khalsa Aid was also providing assistance to the victims of the Cyclone that hit East India in the state of Orissa where it provided assistance to all the affected schools in starting their educational needs. In 2001 Khalsa Aid also went to Turkey to provide medical and water assistance to the victims of the earthquake that struck the north west of the country. The work that people do for Khalsa Aid is not paid for, it is completely voluntary. These people have taken time out of things such as work and education to travel abroad and help. Khalsa Aid is mainly funded by UK based Sikhs. Long-term ProjectsFocus PunjabFocus Punjab is one of the long-term projects of Khalsa Aid. This project was launched in 2010.
