Palais des Thés

In this joint portrait, Éloïse, philanthropic relations officer at Karuna-Shechen, meets two key figures at Palais des Thés: its founder François-Xavier Delmas and Elena Di Benedetto, editorial communications officer. Together, they look back on the birth of a partnership that has its roots in a tragic moment — the 2015 earthquake in Nepal — and which has continued to grow ever since.

They tell the story of a collaboration based on trust, listening to local needs and the desire to act appropriately to give meaning to a collective commitment. Each initiative carried out hand in hand contributes to transforming the lives of the communities supported in a sustainable way, reinforcing the idea that philanthropy can be both simple and transformative when it is based on trust and a shared desire: to be useful.

Together, let’s support initiatives that change the lives of communities and help transform their future
