Tibet Relief Fund was founded in 1959 to help Tibetan communities in need. Today we continue to work with Tibetans in India, Nepal and Tibet through local projects that address basic needs and provide vital healthcare and education. We also respond to emergencies and promote self-sufficiency in Tibetan communities to help them build a positive future.
Many Tibetans are refugees, having fled their country to escape China’s occupation; others live as nomads or in remote areas of Tibet with little or no access to education or medical facilities.
We are extremely proud to run a sponsorship programme for nearly 1,000 children, elderly Tibetans, monks and nuns.
We work with local project partners in India, Nepal and Tibet to support projects for healthcare and education. We also established Empowering the Vision project in Delhi to run programmes for youth empowerment amongst the younger generation of Tibetans in exile.
