ADVISOR, Karuna Care London
Peter Sage is a distinguished humanitarian leader serving as an Advisor to Karuna Care London. With over four decades of extensive experience, Peter is currently the Executive Director of Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team (AMURT), a global humanitarian organisation recognised through consultative roles with the United Nations. He has coordinated humanitarian aid, healthcare, education, and social development projects in more than 180 countries, significantly improving the lives of vulnerable communities worldwide.
Under Peter’s dedicated leadership, AMURT has prioritised vital health initiatives, notably enhancing maternal and child healthcare in regions such as Ebonyi State in Nigeria. There, his efforts have led to the successful establishment of rural health centres, resulting in more than 23,000 safe childbirths and greatly reduced maternal and infant mortality rates. In Ghana’s Volta Region, Peter oversaw a transformative public health and clean-water programme, which virtually eradicated Guinea worm disease and provided thousands of residents with safe drinking water, demonstrating his commitment to sustainable, community-driven healthcare.
At Karuna Care London, Peter brings his global humanitarian expertise to guide and support our vision of providing compassionate, culturally inclusive, and person-centred care. His advisory role ensures that Karuna Care’s operational practices consistently reflect international best standards and comply fully with UK regulatory frameworks. Peter’s extensive global experience directly informs our approach, emphasising empathy, dignity, and holistic well-being—principles central to Karuna Care’s ethos.
In addition to global health and development programmes, Peter has a long-standing commitment to emergency humanitarian response. He has coordinated relief efforts during major international crises, including earthquakes in Haiti, droughts in East Africa, and floods in India, ensuring rapid delivery of critical aid such as medical care, food distribution, and psychosocial support. His hands-on, compassionate leadership has consistently ensured aid reaches those most in need, often in the most challenging circumstances.
Closer to home, Peter exemplifies his humanitarian principles as the volunteer Executive Director of Food For All DC, a Washington-based initiative providing weekly groceries to elderly, disabled, and disadvantaged individuals. This local commitment mirrors his global dedication to practical, compassionate action. At Karuna Care London, we are honoured to benefit from Peter’s remarkable experience and unwavering dedication to improving lives through humanitarian service, both locally and globally.
