Mission Statement
Altruism is not a luxury but a necessity. It is one of the most concrete solutions to the challenges of the 21st century. Altruism is indeed not only the noblest state of mind of human beings, but the only concept that reconciles the demands of the short, medium and long term, to move towards an economy of solidarity, the wellbeing of citizens and a much greater consideration for the fate of future generations, the environment and the eight million species with which we share the biosphere. This is why it is at the heart of our actions and why we encourage everyone to develop their altruistic potential.
About This Cause
Inspired by the principle of universal responsibility proposed by the Dalai Lama, Matthieu Ricard co-founded Karuna-Shechen with an ideal of "compassion in action" to alleviate the suffering of the destitute in the Himalayan regions. Karuna-Shechen unites all those who are convinced that altruism is a key to building tomorrow's world. ACT The association works to break the cycle of extreme poverty and reveal the full potential of the most disadvantaged women, men and children in India, Nepal and Tibet. We accompany these people in their empowerment and the strengthening of their resilience, so that they become actors of their own development. ADVOCATE Karuna-Shechen invites everyone to develop their altruistic potential, to walk together towards a more just world. We offer events and content to be inspired, train themself and get involved. More than 446 000 people and 17 500 animals benefited from our support in 2021.
