Your Kindness Can Transform a Child’s Life.

Sponsorship Program to help with children’s education

The Tibetan Administration in Exile headed by HH The Dalai Lama, with the support of the Government of India and various other organizations and individuals have done a wonderful job with Tibetan education in exile. Over the past fifty plus years thousands of Tibetan children have received excellent education.

As a refugee community, the Tibetans have done remarkably well. Most Tibetan refugees began their lives in exile as road labors. Over the years, many of them have transitioned in business. But, life for Tibetans in exile has never been easy and there are many Tibetan families that need help. Some of them are poor – others come from broken homes,  or have some sickness or other problem in their lives. These families need help to educate their children.
