VISION
We envision a world where people work together to ensure all communities are healthy and safe, and individuals are free to flourish.
MISSION
We partner with underserved rural villages in Myanmar to develop healthy communities. Through a collaborative process we empower local leadership to make effective, sustainable change focusing on education, quality health care and economic opportunities.
OUR VALUES
Mike and Tricia Karpfen created the Shanta Foundation, a federally recognized 501(C)3, in 2006 after their visit to numerous countries in SE Asia and southern Africa. Moved by the unfailing generosity of those who had so little and the realization that a few dollars goes a long way in these countries, Mike and Tricia decided to make humanitarian work an active part of their lives.
