Impact & Stories
Told through the people it reaches.
This isn’t a dashboard of numbers. It’s a record of specific, documented moments where support reached someone who needed it.
Not every act of service needs a statistic.
Some forms of impact are easy to count. More than 40 patients receiving oxygen concentrators is one example.
Others are more personal: two young people being able to experience National Day, a family receiving essentials at the right moment, or someone in a remote community discovering that their situation has been heard.
For that reason, this page records both numbers and stories.
Some impact is counted. Some impact is felt.
Patients supported
With donated oxygen concentrators, according to 2026 reporting.
Documented stay
How long the two girls featured by BBS had reportedly been staying at Karma Kelvin Centre by December 2024 — a duration specific to that story, not an organisational average.
National Order of Merit
Bronze, awarded to Karma Kelvin Dorji for volunteer service.
From resources to relationships.
Immediate relief
Meeting an urgent practical need such as food, clothing, hygiene products or equipment.
Continued care
Remaining involved when somebody needs support beyond a single interaction.
Community mobilisation
Turning the willingness of donors, volunteers and supporters into practical assistance.
Visibility
Helping situations that might otherwise remain unseen reach people able to respond.
Reach
A story can travel farther than distance.
Thimphu
Home base of Karma Kelvin Centre.
Dagana
Home district of one of the young people documented receiving care at the Centre.
Samtse
Home district of another young person documented by BBS.
Trashigang
Connected with an important early story involving Thinley Gyeltshen of Rangshikhar.
Behind every story is a person who showed up.
Following the work as it happens is one of the simplest ways to support it.
