For twenty years, Karuna-Shechen has worked hand-in-hand with our beneficiaries, team members, field staff, and our generous donors to build a better world. Together, we have engaged in compassionate action to reduce suffering, improve equality, and offer our beneficiaries the opportunity to live healthy, empowered lives so that they may reach their full potential.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has joined us on our journey and made our altruistic work possible. Our projects can only be accomplished through a web of interdependent manifestations of good will. Thank you!
