Your Donations

Your donations to Kaur Life will help to empower young Kaurs across the world! Funds are used to pay our long-form writers, photographers, guest speakers, retreat costs, and to cover website maintenance. Next year, Kaur Life hopes to offer regular gurbani vichars, book clubs, virtual paat sessions, and more, once we are able to hire a Director of Community Development in 2021. Your support will help us achieve our mission of empowering and connecting Kaurs to live a gurmat-centered life.

Background

Established in 2014, Kaur Life is the premier Sikh women’s publication, infused with gurmat and tailored for young Kaurs. Kaur Life  strives to be a space where Kaurs can express their ideas, share stories, and learn more about their Sikh culture to empower themselves.

Kaur Life is primarily user-run, meaning that the public and Kaur Life readers submit content to be published on the website. Whether it’s interviews, essays, articles, or photography, Kaur Life wants to feature it.
