Our emphasis at the moment is on helping Tibetan children living in exile.
We have two schools we regularly support in Darjeeling, either by finding sponsorship for each individual child, or by sending lump sums over from our fundraising events, helping with the upkeep of these schools and building additional schools.
Children at the Sakya Kunga Shedup Ling in Darjeeling
Tashi, one of our sponsored children in Darjeeling
Group of sponsored children in 2008 at the Sakya Choepheling
We have supported these projects in the last 8 years :

Ongoing support for a school in Mongolia and building a new school in Eastern Tibet
Land for a retreat for Tibetan girls near Dehradun
We can assure all our supporters that over 90% of our fundraising proceeds can and will go directly to our chosen projects. We like to keep our overheads low and all of our staff work as volunteers.
There are no great advertising costs, no middle man and no admin costs to speak of, so that we can ascertain a high percentage of your donations are received by the people who need it most.
