Charitable Organization - The Tibetan Nuns Project

The Tibetan Nuns Project was founded over two decades ago to provide education and humanitarian aid to refugee nuns from Tibet and Himalayan regions of India. The Project provides facilities and programs to educate, empower, and improve the status of ordained Tibetan women.  Through the organization's sponsorship program, funded by sponsors from around the world, they currently support over 700 Tibetan nuns living in northern India.  The Tibetan Nuns Project is dedicated to improving standards of food, sanitation, medical care, and education in Tibetan nunneriesl  They are working towards future self-sufficiency through educational and training oppourtunities, such as training nuns to take leadership roles within their communities.  Individuals are encouraged to sponser a nun or donate money and their time to help aid these women through education and training.  These donations go towards improving the level and status of ordained Buddhist woman, as well as assisting recently arrived refugee nuns from Tibet and continuing to establish further facilities for them.
