Join SFBC friends Viveka, Vimalasara and others for the launch of this important new entity, working with local community partners to ensure that those living in abject poverty, forced into bonded labor, or dehumanized by a social designation such as “low caste” can access opportunities for a better life.
From the Organizers:
We are delighted to announce the launch of Karuna USA!
Featuring speakers involved with and directly impacted by our work from India, the USA, the UK and Germany. You will learn about the incredible impact that Karuna has in South Asia on children’s education, women’s safety and empowerment (and more!), and be part of an exploratory discussion around the relevance of Karuna’s approach for the United States.
Karuna USA has been established by Triratna Order Members based in the United States as a sister entity to Karuna UK and Karuna Germany. Sharing similar missions and values to our Karuna sisters, our key aim is to mobilize resources in support of marginalized people in South Asia and the United States, helping them to live decent lives and the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
That’s right, as well as supporting work in India, Nepal and Bangladesh, we also aim to support people within the United States itself. Here also, people face many pressing issues and are trapped in poverty due to systemic inequality. Our aim through 2021-22 is to identify where the Karuna approach can make the most difference.
