Savraj Kaur
Savraj is a non-profit leader turned writer and photojournalist. With a Masters in Disasters, Adaptation and Development from King's College London, she blends academic perspective and global insight. Her work has ranged from supporting disabled children in East Africa to humanitarian aid efforts in the Middle East, and workers' rights in Southern India.
Her connection to storytelling began in childhood, immersed in Sunday Times Magazine photo essays that shaped her worldview. This foundation led her to the Bhopal gas disaster's 30th anniversary campaign, where she worked with international journalists documenting ongoing generational impacts. This collaboration evolved into a photo book focusing on children living with disabilities from water contamination.
During the Covid-19 pandemic she led efforts to support local communities. She was recognised for this work with a medal in the UK’s 2022 Queen’s New Year Honours List.
Savraj lives in London with her husband and two young sons.
