Ms. MALIHA HUSAIN

Executive Director, Mehergarh-A Center for Learning

“I have had the privilege of knowing Mr. Sandhu professionally and personally for many years and can attest without hesitation to his exceptional skills, dedication, and leadership in the fields of human rights advocacy, interfaith dialogue, community development, and humanitarian service.

 I have had the distinct pleasure of knowing Sajid professionally and working alongside him for over two decades. He is an exceptional and well-established figure, widely recognized for his contributions as a development professional, social advocate, Christian apologist, and public leader.

 During this time, I have witnessed firsthand his unwavering commitment to justice, his tireless dedication to fostering peace, promoting interfaith harmony through dialogue, defending human rights, and uplifting marginalized communities in Pakistan.

 Throughout my long professional association with Sajid, I have found him to be a man of deep integrity, spiritual conviction, and uncommon courage. He exemplifies the qualities of a servant-leader—never seeking personal fame but always striving to glorify God and serve the people. His leadership style is consultative, his vision is inclusive, and his energy is contagious. He empowers others, mentors the next generation, and creates space for collaboration even in the most challenging circumstances.

 Sajid’s remarkable leadership, both at the grassroots and international levels, has left an admirable impact on all those who have had the privilege to work with him. His deep-seated conviction in the power of unity, peacebuilding, and interfaith dialogue is not simply theoretical but is borne out through a lifetime of service and bold initiatives. Sajid is one of those rare leaders who rose to the top through his selfless efforts and seamlessly merges deep theological insight with practical action, balancing academic excellence with social transformation.

 Sajid’s leadership in interfaith initiatives is unparalleled. In 2004, Sajid founded the Interfaith League Against Poverty (I-LAP) in Pakistan and has championed the cause of the poor and oppressed through holistic community development, disaster relief, education, and spiritual empowerment. He leads with integrity and compassion, continuously working to uplift those who are silenced or sidelined.”
