Who We Are

Sangam of USA

Sangam of USA is more than an organization. It is a movement, a living testament to the enduring values of unity, service, and cultural pride. Rooted in the rich heritage of our South Indian and Indo-Fijian ancestry, Sangam of USA was born from a bold vision: to uplift our communities, bridge generational divides, and carry forward the traditions, wisdom, and compassion of our forebearers into the modern world.

  • Our Mission:

    To preserve and promote our cultural legacy while building a compassionate and inclusive future. We honor the past by serving in the present, with a firm belief that humanity thrives when we care for one another beyond the boundaries of race, religion, or social status.

  • Our Vision

    To extend beyond cultural celebration. We are committed to driving real, meaningful impact locally in the United States and globally in Fiji, through a variety of initiatives that address today's most pressing challenges. Our efforts are anchored in empathy, guided by integrity, and powered by collective action.

At the heart of our identity is a simple yet powerful truth:

One Sangam. One Family. One Purpose.

Our Core Focus Areas

At Sangam of USA

We believe every person matters


Every voice deserves to be heard. And every act of kindness, no matter how small, can echo across generations.

We do this not for recognition or reward but because it is our dharma (duty). We are stewards of a sacred inheritance shaped by the strength, sacrifice, and spirit of our ancestors,
and we choose to carry that legacy forward with grace and grit.

Together, we are not just preserving tradition; we are reimagining it as a global force for unity, justice, and hope. Whether through cultural events, youth mentorship, or humanitarian missions,
we are building a future where Sangam is not just remembered, but lived, shared, and celebrated.


Join us. Be part of the journey. Let's build a better world together.

President's Message

Arvin Reddy

It is with deep humility, pride, and unwavering commitment that I share this message with you as President of Sangam of USA. This organization was not built overnight. It is the result of generations of resilience, faith, and the enduring spirit of a people rooted in tradition yet determined to rise and serve with purpose in today's world.


Sangam of USA is not just an organization; it is a movement of hearts. It is a sacred space where culture meets compassion, and service becomes our shared language. Our identity is shaped by our ancestors, whose sacrifices built the foundation we now stand on. It is our duty-our dharma-to carry that legacy forward, not just through words, but through meaningful action.


When we say, “One Sangam, One Family, One Purpose,” we speak of unity beyond borders, service beyond self, and love without condition. Whether it’s feeding the elderly in remote Fijian villages, creating awareness around mental health and human trafficking, or helping children and families in crisis here in the U.S., our mission is clear: to lead with compassion, act with courage, and uplift every life we touch.


Our strength lies in the community. We are building a family that spans oceans and generations. I’ve seen what’s possible when people come together with open hearts and a shared purpose. I’ve witnessed tears turn into hope, and struggles transform into success stories. That is what Sangam of USA stands for: impact, inclusion, and inspiration.


This is only the beginning. Together, we are redefining Sangam not just as a cultural foundation, but as a powerful global force for change. Our children will one day look back and say, “They didn’t just preserve tradition, they expanded it, lived it, and changed the world through it.”


To our members, volunteers, donors, and supporters, you are the heartbeat of this mission. Thank you sincerely for your trust, your time, and dedication. Let us continue to walk this path together, with pride in our roots and hope in our hearts.


With hope for what we’ll build together,

Arvin Reddy
