  'Whatever help you can give, no matter how small, will be of immense benefit. As we say in Tibet, the ocean is made of many small drops of water' - Amnyi Trulchung Rinpoche.

Funds raised will go directly towards setting up and running our projects in East Tibet, and supporting the people you sponsor. You can also get involved through offering your services as a volunteer, introducing possible donors to us, or helping to raise money. Contact one of our representatives if you have any other queries.

Support can be given through two main directions:

Donations

Donations are handled by The Rigdzin Trust, a New Zealand registered charitable organisation.

The following payment methods are available:

Sponsorship

You can support the people of East Tibet and the Ju Mohar Monastery with a sponsorship of US$200 to be used as you prefer for one of the following options :

  • the annual living expenses of a monk or a nun
  • training and annual salary of a literacy teacher
  • participation of a nomadic family in the leadership and literacy programme for one year

Contact one of our country representatives, and they will link you with a family or person of your choice. We will send you a photograph and description of the person or family according to your choice, and report to you each year.
