Mission Statement
Karuna-Shechen is an international organization founded by Matthieu Ricard to provide health care, education, and social services to the people of India, Nepal, and Tibet.
About This Cause
Karuna-Shechen has initiated and managed over 140 humanitarian projects in India, Nepal, and Tibet. Over twenty years of experience has allowed us to establish a collaborative team of professionals who work within local communities to identity and implement projects that respond directly to their needs. Even in adverse political situations, our projects have continued to thrive because they are community-based in scale and focus. Our projects range from clinics in the remote highlands of Tibet to medical outreach programs in the slums of Kathmandu, from a school in the mountains of Nepal to training in solar engineering for illiterate village women in India. Our beneficiaries have little or no access to health care or education and live in communities that are in great need of our services. We have also been active in disaster relief. Vision Motivated by compassion (karuna) in action, we believe that no one should be denied access to basic education, social services, or health care. We believe that communities can be lifted out of poverty, that change is possible, that people are valuable. MISSION Karuna-Shechen’s mission is to provide quality healthcare, education, and social services to individuals and families in the poorest communities in Tibet, Nepal, and India. We place special emphasis on the empowerment of women and young girls and the preservation of cultural heritage. CORE VALUES Compassion in Action: We serve others with joy and determination by cultivating altruism in our hearts and actions. Collaboration: We work with local partners to pursue our mission with excellence and integrity. Respect: We believe that every individual, regardless of race, gender, class, or caste, is important. We respect our beneficiaries and work with them to find long-term and sustainable solutions to their needs.
