Care for Elders
Help Tibet'
first home for old people, was built and completed in 1990.Thonden Ling Old People's home provides accommodation and care for up to 40 residents. The inspiration for Thonden Ling was the plight of Mo Budron seen here as she is today. We also support the care of another 60 residents in Lodrik Old People's Home.
Help Tibet recognises that many old people, especially those living in the Nepalese Himalayas, wish to remain in their own homes with their friends and relations nearby. We help them to do this by providing monthly stipends.

Help Tibet Help Tibet found that the most pressing needs in the Tibetan refugee camps, were lack of sanitation, water facilities and very poor housing. Over the past 12 years we have undertaken a programme of development of water resources, sanitation projects, reproofing of residents' homes and the provision of environmental water harvesting.
Education
The Tibetan community is committed to improving educational opportunities. Help Tibet responded by developing in service teacher training programmes for teachers and especially for those in remote mountain areas. A successful partnership with both Preston College and Blackpool & The Fylde College was developed.
More recently Citizens Development Seminars have been instigated to help those unemployed to prepare themselves for work and to develop the skills of those already in work.
A vocational training programme is in the planning stage.

In a remote mountain region of Nepal, Help Tibet was invited by a Tibetan community to develop their land for agricultural purposes. Over 7 years, from field clearance to a major irrigation project, Help Tibet has enabled the community to farm its land and become more self-sufficient.
Unemployment, especially amongst the young, is a major issue. Help Tibet in partnership with various settlements has developed a range of employment opportunities including shopping complexes, a noodle factory and loan generation schemes. In northern India Help Tibet is currently building a new home for very frail old people. This project is the first of its kind to be built in partnership with the Tibetan administration that marries up both modern and traditional environmentally friendly building techniques. This will ensure that the building remains warm in winter, cool in summer, earthquake resistant and powered by solar means.
Help Tibet acknowledges the huge amount of goodwill and commitment from Tibetan youth to their communities and intends to harness this enthusiasm by taking up their ideas for voluntary community work.
