About SAATH

SAATH is the flagship global initiative launched by the Sindhi Association of North America (SANA) to unite Sindhi diaspora organizations across continents under a single, structured, and enduring platform.

Strengthened and formalized through the International Sindhi Diaspora Conference 2026 in London, SAATH represents the long-awaited global coordination mechanism for Sindhis worldwide.

Rooted in the conference theme
“Beyond Borders: Building a United Sindhi World”
