Rehabilitation of Torture Victims from Tibet

This project aims to rehabilitate the victims of organised violence and torture survivors from Tibet. Tibet House Trust has been supporting this project since March 1996 and has sent over £ 100,000 for this project to the Torture Victims Cell, a specialised unit of the Department of Health of Central Tibetan Administration, Dharamsala. The Torture Victims Cell takes care of 25—40 such torture survivors every year.

The project provides counselling and medical care for the new refugees, who number between 2000—4000 every year. All the new refugees need immediate medical care, on their arrival in Nepal & India, as they have been walking for days over the Himalayas without sufficient food and nutrition. Many suffer frost-bite and often their fingers, hands, feet and legs have to be amputated upon their arrival in Nepal. The beneficiaries of this project include children few years old to elderly person 70 years old.

Since 2000, the project has been supporting vocational and skills training. Interest-free capital loan for setting up of micro-enterprises has been provided to 10 new  refugees from Tibet.
