�What started as a health-peace initiative for youth in Kashmir, has evolved as a growing international nonprofit organization today. Paigaam is an Urdu/Persian word that means 'a message' in English language hence the whole name of the organization.At present, Paigaam is mostly working in Kashmir mainly on the issues and awareness of mental health, wellness, critical and creative thinking, stress
management, creative expressions, counseling, facilitation, and leadership development.In the past, we have offered various conflict management trainings including peace-education workshops in USA & India, worked on a cross-cultural Arts for Peace Initiative (including creative expressions) for orphans and children with violent pasts in Kashmir, Pakistan, Angola and USA along with an initiative for the emancipation and empowerment of women called the Gift Initiative under which we worked on to sponsor education and provided sanitary products for orphans in Uganda-USA.www.paigaampeace.org
