Petervirdeefoundation Stories

the organization Of Peter Virdee announced that, along with people from around the world, it would invest as much as £500 million into a trust for gurudwaras in Pakistan to help boost religious tourism and preservation projects in the Kartarpur Corridor. In 2015, the foundation also helped restore the Central Gurudwara, London, making it the most environmentally friendly gurudwara in the world.

Hundreds of thousands of brand new cases are reported every day and both organizations place great emphasis on supplying oxygen to disappearances in India all this time needed.

Peter Virdee has seen first-hand the disparity that lies between the healthcare system there and the healthcare system in the U.K. While the U.K. healthcare system, whether that be public or private, has seen a dip in standards during the Covid-19 pandemic this standard is still years ahead of the healthcare system in Punjab and across India which has not been sufficient in caring for such a large population.

The Period Policy, created by Manjit K Gill, Founder & CEO of Binti International, in collaboration with the Peter Virdee Foundation, promotes and ensures equality for everyone who visits the Gurdwara, from the regular congregation to first time visitors. This means providing free menstrual products and menstrual education to the Sikh Community, including open discussions around menstruation to eliminate shame, stigma and taboo. Globally, and in the UK, we have heard countless stories of women not being allowed to perform religious tasks such as sewa while on their period. The charity collaborated with the Gurdwara to promote awareness that any women of any faith or background can go to the Gurdwara, take a pad and have a free hot meal. The Sikh community are being encouraged to donate menstrual pads so that all women can have access to free menstrual products. We firmly believe that once we conquer our own community, we can conquer the world.
