Karma for Cara

🌎🧡 Celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day with youth-led impact!

Meet Esha, 16, from Arizona, and her team at Health Beyond Borders (HBB)! 🧡

With support from a Karma for Cara microgrant, they created culturally responsive health education kits for Native American youth ages 6–12. Working alongside Indigenous health professionals, Esha and her team co-created educational booklets that connect wellness with traditional knowledge, covering everything from nutrition and hygiene to mental health, puberty, and navigating healthcare. Each kit includes practical tools to support healthy habits and emotional well-being.

Their goal? Reach 500 Native American youth across four Arizona communities with resources that honor Indigenous values, celebrate cultural strengths, and empower the next generation to thrive. 🙌

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we’re celebrating Esha and HBB for building healthier communities through collaboration, cultural respect, and youth-powered action!

💕 A little kindness, a lot of heart & so many reasons to smile! 💌

This , we’re celebrating K4C microgrant recipient Jiya (17, TX) and her fellow high school volunteers, who packed 400 hygiene kits complete with heartfelt, handwritten cards and delivered them directly to isolated seniors. 🧼💖 Jiya is the founder & Executive Director of the nonprofit Young and Old United.

The best part? The conversations! 🥰 Through one-on-one visits, seniors shared their life stories, experiences, and wisdom, while young volunteers discovered the power of resilience, connection & community.

Because sometimes the greatest gift isn’t what’s in the bag—it’s taking the time to listen, share a story & remind someone they’re never forgotten. 💕
