Yushu Earthquake Relief Fund launched in the UK

Tibet Foundation, London – 19 April 2010

Tibet Foundation convened an emergency meeting this evening of Tibet-related charities and officially announced the setting up of its Yushu Earthquake Relief Fund, which will be administered by the Yushu Earthquake Committee (YEC). The Committee will plan and implement disaster relief work for the earthquake victims based on need assessments carried out by our field officers.

This morning, Tibet Foundation sent 100,000 RMB (approximately £10,000) to be used for immediate relief work. We have established procedures for transparent monitoring and evaluation of project works.

Tibet Foundation is a UK registered charity (292400) and has over 25 years experience of successfully running aid projects in Asia including relief work during natural disasters, in Tibetan inhabited areas of China:

Snow-storm disaster in Sershul, East Tibet (Sichuan, 1995)
Landslide disaster in Yushu, East Tibet (Qinghai, 2007)
Earthquake in Aba (Sichuan, 2008)
