Kindness, benevolence and cooperation are more necessary than ever to initiate profound and lasting change for the better.

Matthieu Ricard, founder of Karuna-Shechen

Altruistic cooperation, based on solidarity, mutual respect and commitment to the common good, is essential to meeting today’s global challenges. At Karuna-Shechen, we believe that this approach must be translate these important concepts into concrete action that improves the living conditions of the most vulnerable populations. This is not simply a method of intervention, but the very heart of our mission.

Cooperation is not just about immediate results, but is part of a long-term vision. It is the life force of each and every one of our projects. Together, we empower men and women to express their altruism as they take action to create change.

Last year, this spirit enabled almost 500,000 people in India, Nepal and Tibet to work together towards a better future.

Every altruistic gesture contributes to lasting change. Join us in creating a collective impact.

Together for sustainable action

The challenges facing the most vulnerable communities cannot be solved by isolated efforts. 

It is only by uniting all the players involved in our projects that we can make a difference. Together, local communities, government authorities, partners organizations, field teams and donors create sustainable solutions that meet the needs of the most vulnerable populations.

Every contribution, whether human, material or financial, is essential in the success of our actions.
