Today, Karuna-Shechen’s projects are closer to my heart than ever. I hope the association will continue its work for many years to come, and that together we will cultivate the same impetus: to become better people in order to better serve others.

The year 2024 saw the continuation of a solid commitment, punctuated by key events and high points such as the third Altruistic Encounters, Karuna-Shechen’s inclusion in the Sattva Knowledge Institute’s ranking of the 100 best NGOs in India, and the election of a new chairman to strengthen our governance.
All these achievements testify to our determination to place the people we support at the heart of sustainable, participatory development, made possible thanks to the generosity of nearly 3,900 people and organisations working alongside us. This international support strengthens our mission in Asia. In this annual report, you can learn more about our actions in the field in 2024, illustrated by hope-inspiring testimonials, the various advocacy initiatives we have undertaken, our financial results, and much more.
