Tibet Foundation - Tibetans in Exile - Introduction

The Tibetans in Exile programme was established to help Tibetans in India and Nepal.

The programme is run in co-operation with the Central Tibetan Administration based in Dharamasala, allowing us to ensure that the projects supported meet the greatest needs of the recipient communities. To provide long-term care, we primarily operate "sponsorship" schemes, building a bond between donors and the people they are helping.
