Projects
All projects- Dry autumn comes much earlier in the Himalayas than here. Tibetan seniors living in the Ladakh region do not have sufficient funds or ability to provide enough heating for the winter. Let's support them to have enough warmth in the harsh Himalayan winter.
- Buddhist monasteries in the hills of the Indian Himalayas are not an easy place to live. Nevertheless, extraordinary wisdom, goodness and cultural richness flow from them. That is why we support future generations of monks and nuns not only in study and education, but also in spiritual and overall development.
- Health is the most important thing, which is why we have been supporting medical care for thousands of children and seniors since 2014. We finance medical examinations, medical devices, first aid kits, dental care, preventive examinations, vaccinations and even heart transplants and surgeries.
- Preserving the tradition of nomads is our long-term project. Herdsmen on the highlands live in the harshest living conditions. They are completely dependent on their herds. They often die in extreme winter frosts. We support herds - we support nomads.
- One of our most important goals is to support the education of Tibetan children from various regions of the Indian Himalayas. Increasing literacy expands future possibilities and is a prevention against poverty or undesirable life circumstances. The project has touched the lives of thousands of Tibetan children.
- We care about children. Instead of jaundice and diarrheal diseases, we prefer to see joy and laughter in them. Let's make sure that safe, clean water can be drunk at any time.
- In the remote region of Ladakh, hundreds of dogs live without a home—without warmth, safety, or human love. The local shelter is trying to give them a second chance, but without the help of people like you, it can't do it alone.
- The daily diet of Tibetan children includes lentils with rice, noodles, or warm soup. Routine eating can lead to insufficient physical development of children and adolescents. We would like to at least enable the children to have a more varied diet and a sufficient supply of nutrients.
- The autumn of life is a very challenging period. It is rich if a person has a family around him, his existence background is provided and he is not troubled by too many health problems. The project provides small-scale support in several areas of need for Tibetan seniors in homes or in exile camps.
