The story of Karuna is not only that of an organization, it is above all that of all those who participated in this movement: the benefactors, the local partners, the volunteers, the teams and, of course, the people we support. Each one contributes their stone to the building, demonstrating that it is in interdependence that lasting changes are born.

Personal stories that illustrate this common trajectory. These stories allow us to explore the past to understand the foundations of Karuna, the present to measure the impact of its actions, and the future to imagine a more united and peaceful world.
