Gurpuri is a home for the underprivileged, orphan and neglected children of our Nation. We are the first Sikh welfare children's home in the world outside India. Gurpuri, as you all know by now, connotes the meaning of the 'Place of the Guru'. The organisation of Gurpuri has been put together to ensure that these unfortunate children are provided with the necessities of life, in a good up-bringing. Our aim and objectives are to care for and to extend a helping hand in shaping, educating and developing the jewels of our Nation, for a better tomorrow, therefore, touching the future.

The Beginning
Gurpuri's humble initiation was to provide a solution for the growing number of underprivileged, orphan and neglected children. It crystallised and took form when a generous individual offered one of his properties to house these children. It began in June 2000 with its then name Pusat Jagaan Kanak-Kanak Gurpuri. It was officially launched in October 2000 after obtaining the blessings of Guru Ji.

Gurpuri Today
With the support and blessings of Guru Ji and the many donors and well wishers across Malaysia and Singapore, Gurpuri has grown. What was once a house for 18 children has grown to become a home for 47 children. In this short period of 2 years special care and emphasis was given to shape these children who were lacking in many aspects. The most noted development is seen in the education aspect, both formal and religious. The employment of professional educationalist is part of our on going effort in continuing to achieve educational excellence and their results show they have obtained self-realisation that "better grades lead to a better future."

While showing improvement in their education they have also sharpened their social abilities. They have participated in "Samelan", "hola-mahala" events and games. They have won numerous trophies in atheletics and soccer. They have also displayed their stage and drama skills in our Charity Dinner held in April 2002.

Gurpuri Foundation
With Guru Ji's blessings, on 13th May 2002, the Malaysian government granted us a foundation status. We are now known as 'Gurpuri Foundation'.

Everyone here at Gurpuri looks forward to your continued support and contributions in cash and kind to the well-being of our children.
