    Sharing with the communities we love

    Karma is fortunate to be able to transport our members to some of the most unique countries and incredible communities in the world.

    It’s an integral part of our Karma philosophy to respect and actively help the people and places in which we are located. That’s not just because it’s the ‘right’ thing to do; it’s because that’s who and what we are, a company that cares.

    We’re particularly involved with charities that support childhood development, including Christel House in Bangalore and The Bali Life Foundation, providing food, education and holidays for underprivileged children. We also work with philanthropic sports projects around the world. In our view, giving back is just good Karma.

    Christel House

    Based in Bangalore, India, Christel House takes a holistic approach to transforming the lives of impoverished children. The centre provides education, food and healthcare from kindergarten to graduation, helping its graduates to achieve dignity, independence and success.

    Christel House was founded in 2001 and Karma is proud to have been a key supporter from the start. Over the past 14 years, we have sponsored the Food Programme, the construction of the Christel House library and the Learning Support Centre (John Spence birthday gift). Since 2002, Karma has also invited more than 150 Christel House students for a fully funded five-day holiday of a lifetime at Camp Royal.
