About the Tibet Culture Trust

The Tibet Culture Trust is a registered Charity (UK Charity No. 1105227) established in 2003 with the aims of providing health care, education, social and economic support not only for people of Tibetan origin living in exile and in Tibet, especially children; but also all people of various cultures all over the world that are living in destitute conditions.

The TCT founder is the venerable Lama Jamyang Lekshey, who is well known in the UK for his teachings and lectures of Tibetan Buddhism and also his compassion, humour and understanding of the Western mind.

Lama Lekshey, born in Tibet, divides his time between his residence in India and the UK, travelling all over the world to meet with people from different cultures.

One of the first urgent projects of the TCT is to raise funds for the children and people of rural Asia who do not have clean running water, which creates illness and poor nutrition.

Also, there is desperate need for access to education in so many countries. Lama La would like to create facilities for all to have a chance to catch up with computer skills etc.

The TCT's mission statements are:

To set up health and nutrition programs world-wide
To build English language centers and help relieve poverty, lack of health care & education - regardless of race, religion, or nationality
To promote the message of peace and compassion in Tibetan Buddhism as well as different cultures, education and language teaching
Create an emphasis on inter-religious dialogue
Help to create opportunities for IT studies and furthering of IT skills for the underprivileged world-wide & specifically for Tibetans living in exile
Raising awareness & education towards a multi-ethnic society world-wide.

These objectives are to be achieved through means of fund-raising such as donations from Trust members, sponsors and our team of international volunteers helping with fund-raising. If you can find it in your heart to become a member or a volunteer of the TCT, please go to Participate.
