Khalsa Aid International Drawing Competition

Celebrating 27 Years of Compassion & Humanity

This year marks the 27th anniversary of Khalsa Aid International, a charity built on the Sikh principle of “Recognise the whole human race as one.”

Since its founding in 1999, Khalsa Aid has provided humanitarian relief across the world — from disaster zones and conflict areas to supporting vulnerable communities in the UK and beyond. Now, we’re inviting the next generation to share what Khalsa Aid means to them.

It could be:

• Helping others in times of need

• Community, unity, and service
• Or your own unique interpretation!
