The CARMA Foundation is a non-profit organization classified under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The mission of CARMA is to measurably improve the health of poor, vulnerable women and children in Haiti. CARMA effectively utilizes media and pop culture to create a platform of awareness, dialogue, and then action. With the name taken from an urban spin on karma, it embodies the belief of cause and effect behavior, and practices to influence the lives of others. It is with this belief that CARMA mobilizes others to not only care, but to become involved. Since its inception in 2007, CARMA has impacted the lives of tens of thousands of Haitian women and children and plans to extend its reach to millions.
