Dear Karya supporters,

We are thrilled to share Karya's latest updates and achievements with you. Your ongoing support continues to empower us in our quest to build a sustainable and inclusive pathway out of poverty for rural Indians.

Hear from Swarnalata Nayak, one of our many incredible workers across rural India!

In Swarnalata's village, the average person makes $12 per month. At Karya, she made $60 in her first week. Swarnalata talks about Karya enabled her to contribute to her family, by "simply talking to her phone".

🌟 Highlights

1. We have initiated a new project in collaboration with Karnataka Health Promotion Trust & USAID, further expanding our reach and impact in rural communities.

2. The ACT Grants team visited our villages, allowing us to engage with them directly and demonstrate the impact of our initiatives on the ground.

3. We are delighted to share that we successfully completed The/Nudge bootcamp and had the opportunity to present our work at their Soiree event, showcasing our efforts to an audience passionate about social change.

4. Our team participated in the BMGF Partner Summit, allowing us to connect with like-minded organizations and individuals, exchange ideas, and strengthen our network.

5. We got to present the Karya story to the Asia Philanthropy Circle, Asia’s leading network of philanthropists and impact investors.

6. The Karya team held a rejuvenating and inspiring retreat, providing an opportunity for bonding, reflection, and strategic planning for the future.
