Sponsorship programme
Our
Education Sponsorship programme has been progressing and expanding since
the start of the Tibet House Trust. At present, we have 169
beneficiaries 20 have either completed their schooling or left for other
reasons. The monthly sponsorship of £13 pays for the children’s
tuition fees, uniform, food and books.
The
programme helps to fund the schooling of orphan, destitute and poor
children in different schools in India and Nepal. It also supports
religious studies by monks and nuns. The sponsorship is channelled
through the local institutions like Department of Education, Department
for Religion and Culture, Tibetan Children’s Village, Tibetan
Institute of Performing Arts. Sponsors receive individual case history of the children, pictures, annual
reports and are welcome to maintain personal contact with the children.

When
I had nothing,
You
gave me the chance to study
I
think you are the one,
Who
has opened the door for me.
Wherever
you are;
You
are always in my heart;
I’ll
be grateful for your kindness,
And
all you have done for me.
People
like you,
Make
this world;
A
wonderful place to live in,
For
the deprived.
Last
year, we completed a three-year education project funded by Department
for International Development, UK. Through the Department of Education,
we provided 150 scholarships for Degree courses and 250 for vocational
and skills training for Tibetan refugees.
