"For Education, Equity, and Empowerment"
“Guided by Sikh Values for Sarbat da Bhala”
“At Dasvandh Care Foundation, we’re not just building futures—we’re crafting stories of hope, resilience, and transformation. Driven by the timeless values of Dasvandh and the spirit of Sarbat da Bhala, our mission is to open doors for every child, especially young girls, who dream of a world filled with possibilities. Through education, healthcare, and unwavering community support, we’re creating pathways where none existed before. Together, let’s imagine a tomorrow where every child stands empowered, armed with knowledge, strength, and a purpose to shine brighter. Join us on this journey to change lives, one step at a time.”
We believe that every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thrive, regardless of their background. In the short term, Dasvandh Care Foundation focuses on creating immediate impacts by addressing urgent educational and medical needs in underserved communities.
Educational Sponsorships for Underprivileged Children
We sponsor school fees, provide essential learning materials, and offer tutoring support to children from financially challenged families, with a special emphasis on supporting girls’ education. Through these efforts, we aim to bridge educational gaps and create a more level playing field, empowering young minds to break the cycle of poverty.
Medical Aid and Essential Health Support
Health is the foundation of learning and growth. We provide financial assistance for medical treatments, surgeries, and essential healthcare for families in need. Each case is carefully vetted, ensuring timely support for those who need it most. By alleviating medical burdens, we enable families to focus on their children's education and well-being.
Community Outreach and Empowerment Programs
Our volunteers work within local communities to promote awareness on education, health, and gender equality, conducting workshops that inform and empower families. These programs aim to foster a supportive environment that values education and prioritizes the holistic well-being of each child.
Our long-term vision extends beyond immediate relief. At Dasvandh Care Foundation, we’re working toward creating a sustainable educational institution that offers not only academic excellence but also a profound connection to Sikh values, history, and way of life. Our goal is to raise empowered, knowledgeable leaders deeply rooted in their heritage and values..
Establishing a World-Class Educational Institute
We envision building a self-sustaining school for financially challenged children that offers free or subsidized world-class education. This institute will provide a holistic learning environment, integrating modern academic subjects with moral and ethical education based on Sikh principles. Here, every child can aspire to academic success, guided by a strong foundation of compassion and integrity.
Emphasizing Sikh History, Values, and Martial Arts
In addition to a traditional academic curriculum, our school will offer specialized programs that teach Sikh history, culture, and martial arts like Gatka, promoting physical fitness and mental discipline. By introducing students to the rich heritage of Sikhism, we aim to instill in them the values of resilience, justice, and selfless service, creating a generation that carries forward these traditions with pride.
Nurturing Future Leaders for Community Empowerment
The institute’s vision is to develop students into future leaders who will return to uplift their communities. Through mentorship programs, leadership development, and exposure to community service, we will nurture children with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to positively impact society, ensuring the spirit of Sarbat da Bhala lives on.
“Our vision is to build a generation that is not only academically accomplished but also deeply rooted in values of service, compassion, and resilience. In longer scheme, through our sustainable educational institute, we aim to cultivate leaders who will uplift society, equipped with a profound understanding of Sikh principles, culture, and the martial arts tradition.”

What is DASVANDH?
Dasvandh or Dasaundh, literally means a "tenth part" and refers to the practice among Sikhs of contributing in the name of the Guru, one-tenth of their earnings towards the common resources of the community. This is also referred to in Punjabi as "Daan" literally "giving" or "contributing" in charity. This is a Sikh's religious obligation — a religious requirement or duty; a form of seva or humble service which is highly valued in the Sikh system. The concept of dasvandh was implicit in Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s own Gurbani in the line: "ਘਾਲਿ ਖਾਇ ਕਿਛੁ ਹਥਹੁ ਦੇਇ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਰਾਹੁ ਪਛਾਣਹਿ ਸੇਇ ॥੧॥ One who works for what he eats, and gives some of what he has - O Nanak, he knows the Path (1)" (SGGS p 1245) (source)
