Story

Thanks to Karuna's generous supporters we have reached our target of £10,000! The even better news is that the £10,000 has been doubled to £20,000 by philanthropist friends of Karuna and the Big Give! This money allows us to get an additional 200 vulnerable girls into school next year in villages near Calcutta. Girls who would otherwise almost certainly end up in a childhood marriage living out their years as domestic servants to their in-laws. 

If you would like to make a donation to Karuna's work, please donate at http://www.justgiving.com/karuna . Your donation won't be doubled sincethe xmas challenge is now closed, but rest assured it will still make a difference to people's lives, especially those living on the margins of Indian society. 

Thank you for your support.
