Environmental initiatives in the Himalayan region and around the world are more urgent than ever. Karuna-Shechen’s position as a trusted resource for sustainable solutions within vulnerable communities places us in a perfect position to improve the well-being of those in need — while also increasing environmental awareness and stewardship.
Our sustainable projects train solar technicians in Nepal, run environmental awareness campaigns in India, teach children to be stewards of the environment, and empower villagers in sustainable farming and gardening techniques.
Please join us with a generous gift of support.
Help Karuna-Shechen raise awareness and reduce the impact of climate change. Our dedication — strengthened by your support — will empower continued environmentalism in the Himalayan region and beyond.
THANK YOU !
