Holosophic Society International (Europe and Africa) and affiliated organizations in different countries regularly conduct charitable projects to serve local communities. These projects are based upon the teachings of Sant Baljit Singh Ji that focus on unity in diversity, service to humanity, compassion for all, a natural lifestyle, and devotion to the omnipresent God pervading all. With love and respect, we are dedicated to serving humanity.
Inspired by caring for humanity and the environment, all of our charitable activities are funded by donations and carried out by our volunteers.
