Tibet Relief Fund

Thousands of Tibetans risk their lives every year escaping their country across the Himalayas; around a third are children. They are fleeing political and religious persecution, imprisonment and torture. They are fleeing a country in which they have become a minority. This has been a harsh reality since China invaded in 1950.

As the world's first ever Tibet charity, Tibet Relief Fund was founded in 1960 following the Dalai Lama's flight from his country. There are now over 130,000 Tibetans living in India and Nepal. We help to give these people a better future, through projects focusing on healthcare, education, income generation and youth employment programmes. We also support projects within Tibet and have helped build over nine primary schools and continue to work within this field as well as community health programmes.
