We believe in being pragmatic and flexible in our approach to our work and ensuring that donors/supporters are always aware of what their contributions are achieving.

We believe that by providing a helping hand we can empower families that live in poverty to develop the resources necessary so that they can break the cycle of poverty. Your Seva is based on the Sikh principle of Seva: being selfless by taking responsibility and actively contributing to the betterment of humanity by effecting positive social change. Our primary focus currently is India as it is one of the most improvised countries in the world, the South Asian diaspora has a close relationship with India and many Indians hold in common the teachings of Guru Nanak and the principles of Daya (compassion/apathy). We aim to connect with the South Asain community and build on this relationship so that together we can help impoverished families in India. We aim to expand the area in which we can help by growing the charity organically and connecting with other diaspora communities to alleviate poverty in other nations. With this core principles of Daya and Seva we encourage people to share their earnings and volunteer their skills, and put them towards helping those that are less fortunate. It is our mission to help you carry out Your Seva.

UHUK was formed in 2008 in direct response to helping Haiti's children get an education. UHUK has been tirelessly working at making a positive contribution in the lives of the impoverished children in Haiti by working with selected grassroots organisations in the country. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. They say that every child has the right to an education, however, for those born into a life of poverty, education becomes even more paramount in helping them secure a prosperous future. We were sponsoring 16 children in Carrefour and we want to expand to include more sponsorships and assist in the building and re-building of more schools throughout Haiti. Please donate now and help us in our challenge of educating the under privileged children in Haiti.
