How faiths unite through acts of selfless charity and compassion

From everyday gestures between strangers to deeply rooted traditions of giving, the ripple effect of kindness is already part of community life. In many faiths, this spirit has long been lived out through practices such as Sikh Dasvandh, Hindu daan punya, and Muslim zakat and Christian tithing, each reflecting a shared commitment to supporting those in need. On Pay It Forward Day, we explores how these different paths of generosity connect through a common thread: the idea that giving doesn’t end with one act but continues, grows, and strengthens the communities we live in today.
