Karuna

Karuna works in four countries across South Asia, where hundreds of millions of people suffer lives of grinding poverty and oppression, excluded from the region’s economic boom. Karuna works with community based organizations that are helping thousands of people to escape the hell of poverty and discrimination and take their rightful place in society.

In recent years Karuna has prioritised projects that enable women from the poorest communities to secure their basic rights, and fight onstacles such as malnutrition, poor health, overwork, mistreatment, and powerlessness. Karuna recognizes that when women are empowered the benefits can spread throughout entire communities.
Karuna funds initiatives that bring local women together to find solutions to their own difficulties, creating the sense of empowerment that comes with greater self-reliance:
