We believe that the seeds planted through education can empower and inspire individuals to make the world a better place for all.
Mata Sahib Kaur Educational Trust (MSKET) is a volunteer-led charitable organisation that holds these core values at its heart.
We aim to promote, increase and sustain individual and collective knowledge of the immense contribution of Mata Sahib Kaur Ji to the Sikh faith. The life and wisdom of Mata Sahib Kaur Ji are used as a basis for projects that benefit all, regardless of faith.
MSKET also spreads awareness of the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib Ji (principal scripture of Sikhism), for the enhancement and improvement of the worldwide community.
Furthermore, our charitable organisation pursues acts of voluntary service which serves to uplift all humanity and in doing so, practise the Sikh concept of Sarbat Da Bhalla (“may everyone prosper”).

Our Role model
Mata Sahib Kaur Ji (1681-1747) was and still is a truly inspiring individual. She was a leader and humanitarian who dedicated her life to spiritualism, fighting injustice and improving the lives of the impoverished. Though she carried out her life’s work in India, her impact is global and her influence timeless.
She assisted everyone
Mata Sahib Kaur Ji (1681-1747) was and still is a truly inspiring individual. She was a leader and humanitarian who dedicated her life to spiritualism, fighting injustice and improving the lives of the impoverished. Though she carried out her life’s work in India, her impact is global and her influence timeless.
She assisted everyone who entered her court, regardless of religion, caste or creed. For example, she uplifted poverty-stricken Hindu and Muslim families when they asked for financial help, covering all the costs and preparations for girls’ marriages. She also provided relief to drought-stricken farmers, by having wells dug in their villages - alongside numerous other projects.
Another noteworthy achievement was Mata Sahib Kaur Ji’s leadership of the Sikh nation. A woman in a position of power, during a period of endemic inequality and discrimination was extremely rare. Yet Mata Sahib Kaur Ji led the Sikhs for 40 years, using her power and influence to benefit humankind.
At MSKET, we are motivated by Mata Sahib Kaur Ji’s selfless, compassionate and inclusive nature and we use these qualities to inspire us in our voluntary work.
