KARUNA 08

Karuna was formed in 1980 as Aid for India, the movement's response to the suffering of India's Dalit community. For 30 years, Karuna has worked with some of South Asia's most disadvantaged people, sending over £1 million every year to support low-caste and tribal communities, street children and refugees fulfill their potential through our social and Dharma projects.

We recently celebrated our 30-year anniversary by bringing together as many people as possible who have a connection with Karuna – including team members, fundraisers, trustees, and those who have lived & worked in India.

Here are some amazing facts about Karuna. Since 1980:

· 1,000,000 – is the estimated number of beneficiaries’ lives touched in South Asia

· £16,000,000 – is the total expenditure on projects in South Asia

· £21,400,000 – is the number of total funds raised by Aid for India / Karuna

The Karuna team and trustees would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to all those who have supported our work over the years. Your help has brought about positive changes in the lives of people from disadvantaged communities in South Asia.

There is still much work to do so please do continue to give us your support!
