This page presents an overview of the projects carried out by Association Karuṇā Sevena between 2011 and 2025. Each of these initiatives was made possible through the generosity of donors and guided by the intention to offer meaningful support where it was most needed.
With gratitude, we share this part of our journey as a reflection of compassion, generosity, and collective effort.
Senior nuns in Olaboduwa (2012-2025)
A support project for senior Theravāda nuns at Srī Gotamī ārāma monastery in Sri Lanka, who are the teachers of bhikkhunī Visuddhi. Between 2012 and 2025, Association Karuṇā Sevena provided support focused mainly on basic needs, medicine, healthcare, and clothing during their later years and periods of illness. The project has now been completed; however, the Venerable nuns remain deeply respected figures whose lives dedicated to the Dhamma and compassionate service continue to inspire others.
Support for Sakyadhita Centre (2012–2025)
Between 2012 and 2024, Karuṇā Sevena supported the Sakyadhita Training and Meditation Centre, a place dedicated not only to the education of young nuns but also to helping children, families in need, and pregnant women. This long-term cooperation was based on direct experience and trust, and included a number of joint charitable and educational projects.

Support During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Sri Lanka (2021)
A brief account of a humanitarian mission in Sri Lanka during the severe economic crisis of 2022. Despite fuel shortages, power cuts, and disrupted supply chains, we delivered essential food and basic aid to a remote mountain village in the Nuwara Eliya region, where local families were facing acute shortages and hardship.
Emergency Relief after Landslides – Nuwara Eliya (2014)
In 2014, devastating landslides struck the mountainous region of Nuwara Eliya, destroying entire villages and leaving many families without homes or basic necessities. In cooperation with the Sakyadhita centre, we undertook a demanding and risky journey to deliver essential aid, including rice, clothing, and supplies for children. This project was a direct response to urgent human suffering, aiming to bring immediate support where it was most needed.
Over the past few years, we have been helping a family with two young sons who are battling the rare condition Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an incurable disease that fundamentally changes the lives of entire families. In addition to contributing to future treatment, we focused on providing personal and emotional support to the family in England and fostering inner stability, which helped them bear their difficult burden with calm and dignity.
Support for Syrian Refugees (2014–2015)
During the peak of the refugee crisis, we provided direct assistance through Czech volunteers at the Balkan borders and partly in the Czech Republic. Our support focused mainly on pregnant women, mothers with children, and unaccompanied children, offering essential supplies and immediate help in the field.
Angela Home – podpora opuštěných dívek na Srí Lance (2011 - 2013)
Projekt Angela Home byl zaměřen na pomoc dívkám, které ztratily rodinné zázemí a vyrůstaly v buddhistickém domově poblíž Kolomba. Naše organizace zde poskytovala materiální podporu a pomáhala zlepšovat životní podmínky. Kvůli zhoršující se bezpečnostní situaci a neudržitelným podmínkám byl domov uzavřen a děti byly přemístěny do jiných zařízení, kde je jim nadále zajištěna péče.
