Once an act of altruism has been accomplished, it multiplies around us and inspires others to take similar action. Karuna’s initiatives are based on a deep conviction in the importance of promoting altruism and cooperation at all levels of society. Our aim is to create environments and opportunities conducive to cultivating and acting in this direction.

Every gesture counts and allows communities to spread altruism !

If true altruism does exist, it is not the prerogative of exceptional beings such as heroes or saints, and if its presence can be seen in countless actions of ordinary life, (…) we can learn important lessons from them.

Matthieu Ricard
