Our Projects

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.

We have supported these projects in the last 8 years :

  • Ambulance for Sakya hospital in Dehradun
  • £10000 towards accommodation for our girls in Ladakh
  • Darjeeling: Our individual sponsored children at the Sakya Choepheling
  • Darjeeling: Our individual sponsored children at the Sakya Kunga Shedup Ling
  • Sponsorship for our individual children in lay schools in Dehradun
  • Funding for a new roof for an educational building in Dehradun
  • Ongoing support for the Tibetan Children’s Handicraft Centre by buying fair trade goods from Tibetan youths learning a handicraft
  • In progress and planned for the future
  • More funds towards the building and upkeep of our girls in Ladakh, so that more girls can arrive there to be schooled, housed and looked after
  • Ambulance for Nunnery
  • Ongoing support for a school in Mongolia and building a new school in Eastern Tibet
  • Land for a retreat for Tibetan girls near Dehradun

All these projects are closely monitored by our patron, HH Sakya Trizin, and founder Lama Lekshey.


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.

 

If you would like to get involved in one of our pojects or sponsor a child please contact us.
