Karuna-Shechen isproud to participate in #GivingTuesday! This global day of giving invites individuals to celebrate the holiday season by giving back and creating change in communities across the globe.
Our founder Matthieu Ricard shares a special Giving Tuesday message:
Matthieu Ricard explains how together we can save lives and increase well-being for under-served people in the Himalayas:
Thank you for joining us on #GivingTuesday to help save lives and improve the well-being of those in need in the Himalayas!
Your Impact was Doubled!
A very generous supporter offered to match up to 50,000 dollars of contributions for our GivingTuesday campaign. Every donation was automatically doubled!
Continue to make a positive difference with us!
Every year, together we help more than 250,000 people in need in India, Nepal, and Tibet. Your donations make this and more possible:
Your support on #GivingTuesday and every day allows us to continue fulfilling our mission and create a joyful way for you to show your compassion in action!
We continue to accept donations to create a better life for the 250,000 people we support each year in remote and under-served areas of the Himalayas.
