“When altruists join forces, they can generate a tremendous power for good. (…) Everyone can mobilize in his or her own way and cultivate an altruistic state of mind to become a link in the immense chain of solidarity that trenscends borders, castes, genders and religions.” – Matthieu Ricard, co-fonder of Karuna-Shechen
Action for Karuna returns
from May 16 to 22, 2022 !
Karuna-Shechen advocates and acts for a more altruistic world. The Action For Karuna movement unites all those who want to participate in this vision. This year, all the donations collected will finance our food security program that supports more than 53,000 families in India.
Matthieu Ricard and the Karuna teams invite you to join the solidarity movement:
Everyone can participate in their own way according to their creativity and talents: solidarity course, student initiative, sports challenge, team-building event, life event… Everything is possible!
Everyone can get involved! You don’t have an idea for a solidarity project? You can still participate in our workshops and virtual events.
