Hindu Samman Foundation

More than 100+ Hindu refugee families want to move out of Delhi and rebuild their lives in Punjab. These are families who came from Pakistan hoping to find safety, dignity and a better future in India. But for many of them, life in Delhi has become extremely difficult. Poor and largely dependent on daily wages, labour, roadside carts and small businesses, these families have struggled for years with insecure housing, repeated livelihood disruptions, floods in some settlements, medical emergencies, documentation problems and continuing uncertainty. Some families have already returned to Pakistan. Others are considering going back because they see no sustainable future for themselves in Delhi. For a family that once left Pakistan hoping for a better life in India, returning there out of helplessness is heartbreaking. HSF wants to give them another choice. ❤️ A NEW BEGINNING IN NAKODAR, PUNJAB During the last 6–12 months, Hindu Samman Foundation teams have visited Nakodar, Punjab multiple times to explore whether these families could build sustainable lives there. And what we found gives us hope. Members and representatives of the Bawri community in Nakodar have approached HSF and expressed their willingness to welcome and support these families. Our teams have held repeated discussions with local community leaders, including the leadership of the Bawri community, and studied the possibilities for rehabilitation in the area. After these visits and discussions, HSF believes Nakodar can provide an opportunity for these families to start again. Unlike simply moving families from one unfamiliar place to another, here there is already a local community willing to help them settle, adjust and rebuild. 🏠 SAMMAN AWAS – NAKODAR, PUNJAB Approximately 100+ families currently want to relocate from Delhi to Punjab, and we believe that, subject to land availability, infrastructure, legal requirements and resources, the area could potentially support 100–200 families over time. But there is one major requirement before this can happen: WE NEED LAND. HSF is therefore launching the Samman Awas – Nakodar Land Purchase Campaign. Our objective is to acquire suitable, legally secure land in or around Nakodar where permanent housing can eventually be developed for eligible refugee families. 🎯 FUNDRAISING GOAL – ₹2.5 CRORE Land Requirement: Approximately 5–10 Kanals Estimated Land Cost: ₹30–50 Lakh per Kanal Fundraising Target: ₹2,50,00,000 The final land size, location and purchase price will depend upon availability and completion of appropriate legal, title, land-use and financial due diligence. This fundraising campaign is primarily for land acquisition. Housing construction and infrastructure will be developed in subsequent phases depending upon the land acquired, resources and applicable approvals. WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS This is not simply a land purchase. This land could become the difference between families returning to Pakistan in despair and families getting another opportunity to build their future in India. They are not asking HSF to support them forever. They want an opportunity to work. They want to educate their children. They want permanent homes. They want stability. They want to stand on their own feet. And most importantly, in Nakodar, there is already a community willing to stand beside them while they rebuild. 🙏 OUR APPEAL TO HINDU SOCIETY We appeal to Hindu society, philanthropists, businesses, charitable trusts and compassionate individuals across India and around the world: PLEASE HELP US PURCHASE THIS LAND. Whether you contribute ₹500, ₹1,100, ₹5,100, ₹11,000, ₹51,000, ₹1 lakh or more, every contribution can bring these families closer to a permanent solution. Major donors and institutions interested in sponsoring land or supporting the subsequent housing project are also invited to connect directly with HSF. BEFORE THEY RETURN TO PAKISTAN, LET US GIVE THEM ANOTHER CHOICE. They left Pakistan with hope. They have struggled to establish themselves in Delhi. Now more than 100 families are asking for an opportunity to start again in Punjab. Nakodar is offering hope. The local community is willing to support them. HSF is ready to work for their rehabilitation. Now we need society to come forward and help us secure the land. 🏠 SAMMAN AWAS – NAKODAR, PUNJAB Land Today. Homes Tomorrow. A New Beginning in India. ❤️ Fundraising Target: ₹2.5 Crore Donate. Support. Share.

They left Pakistan hoping for a better life in India. Now, some are being forced to consider going back. Can we help them before that happens? For hundreds of Pakistani Hindu refugee families living in Delhi, life has become an everyday struggle for survival. They came to India with hope. They wanted nothing extraordinary — just a safe place to live, an opportunity to earn a livelihood, education for their children, and a future free from fear and uncertainty. Unfortunately, years later, many families are still struggling to meet even their most basic needs. Despite their willingness to work hard and become self-reliant, their circumstances have become increasingly difficult. Frequent floods, disruption of small businesses by authorities, insecure living conditions, medical emergencies, documentation difficulties, unemployment, and the absence of adequate rehabilitation support have pushed several families into extreme distress. For families surviving through daily wages, roadside carts, and small businesses, even a few days without income can mean going hungry. Some families have already returned to Pakistan. Others are seriously considering doing the same. Imagine the helplessness of a family that left Pakistan hoping to build a safer future in India, only to find itself considering a return because it cannot afford to survive here. This is precisely why Hindu Samman Foundation (HSF) believes that humanitarian assistance alone is no longer enough. These families need rehabilitation, permanent shelter, and opportunities to earn their own livelihood. A Request From Refugees Living in Four Delhi Camps: Refugee families from four different camps in Delhi have approached Hindu Samman Foundation with a collective request: Help us relocate to a place where we can build our homes, find employment, and live with dignity. Haridwar, Uttarakhand, has emerged as one of the destinations identified for their rehabilitation. Approximately 50 Pakistani Hindu refugee families are willing to relocate to Haridwar and rebuild their lives there. Our HSF teams have visited the proposed location multiple times to examine its suitability for rehabilitation. We have identified several encouraging factors: - Nearby factories offering potential employment opportunities. - Highway connectivity and roadside locations where families may establish small businesses and carts, subject to applicable permissions. - A comparatively affordable location for developing low-cost housing. - Encouraging support from local residents willing to help HSF establish a rehabilitation settlement. Most importantly, these families themselves want to relocate. They are not asking to depend on donations forever. They are asking for an opportunity to stand on their own feet. Introducing Samman Niwas – Haridwar Building upon our experience with the free housing initiative in Jodhpur, Hindu Samman Foundation is now working towards establishing another rehabilitation settlement: SAMMAN NIWAS – HARIDWAR, UTTARAKHAND We have identified and finalised our preferred land parcel for this initiative, subject to completion of the required legal verification and purchase formalities. Our immediate objective is to purchase four bighas of land, which will form the foundation of a proposed low-cost housing settlement for approximately 50 refugee families. The project aims to provide families with more than a roof over their heads. We want to help them establish a stable environment where they can earn, educate their children, access essential services, and become contributing members of their new community. Our Immediate Fundraising Goal: ₹2.20 Crore TOTAL LAND PURCHASE FUNDRAISING TARGET ₹2,20,00,000 Land identified 4 Bighas Cost per Bigha ₹55,00,000 Families proposed for rehabilitation Approximately 50 Location Haridwar, Uttarakhand This fundraising target is for land acquisition. Housing construction, infrastructure, and other development expenses will be planned and funded separately. Every contribution, regardless of its size, will bring us closer to securing this land and beginning the next phase of rehabilitation. Why Your Support Matters For a refugee family living under constant uncertainty, a permanent home can change everything. It means children can attend school without repeatedly worrying about displacement. It means parents can focus on earning a livelihood rather than wondering where their families will sleep tomorrow. It means elderly people and vulnerable family members can live with greater security and dignity. And, most importantly, it means families who are considering returning to Pakistan because of economic hardship can have a meaningful alternative here in India. We cannot undo the suffering these families have experienced, but together, we can help change what happens next. We appeal to Hindu society, philanthropists, charitable trusts, business owners, corporate organisations, and compassionate individuals across the world to support this rehabilitation initiative. Your contribution is not merely helping us purchase land. It is helping create the foundation of a new community, offering distressed families a chance to rebuild their lives and reducing the circumstances that drive reverse migration to Pakistan. Be a Founding Supporter of Samman Niwas – Haridwar Whether you contribute ₹100, ₹1,100, ₹5,100, ₹11,000, ₹51,000, ₹1 lakh, or sponsor a larger portion of the land, your participation matters.

Relief keeps families alive. Livelihoods keep them independent. Without income, refugee families remain trapped in dependency no matter how much aid they receive. This campaign supports small, practical income sources that allow families to earn daily, repay dignity, and sustain themselves long-term: E-rickshaws for local transport work Tea stalls and sugarcane juice carts Mobile accessory kiosks and similar micro-businesses These are not experiments. They are proven, local, demand-driven livelihoods. Support options: E-Rickshaw: ₹1,80,000 Small Business Cart / Stall: ₹40,000 – ₹45,000 This support replaces charity with capability. Livelihood is not aid—it is exit from poverty.
