Tibet Relief Fund was founded in 1959, within months of the Dalai Lama arriving in India following his escape from Tibet. Thousands of Tibetans followed him, crossing the Himalayas on foot to begin a life in exile as refugees. Today, the need is a great as ever; many Tibetans still choose to risk their lives to escape China鈥檚 rule; inside Tibet rural communities and nomads live in grinding poverty with little or no healthcare or access to education

Tibet Relief Fund works with Tibetans in India, Nepal and inside Tibet funding programmes to provide healthcare and education. We also promote self-sufficiency and sustainability amongst Tibetan communities, through innovative youth employment and community-building initiatives. In addition we run a sponsorship programme for nearly 1,000 children and the elderly.

Tsering co-ordinates Tibet Relief Fund鈥檚 sponsorship programme that supports Tibetan refugee children through school, older students at university or on vocational training courses, living costs for exiled Tibetan monks and nuns and provides for elderly Tibetans who have no other means of support.

Education is enormously important for Tibetans living in exile; it provides the tools for building sustainable futures. Through sponsorship Tibetan children, like these attending Namgyal Middle School in Kathmandu, can be assured a good education and nurturing environment
