  • T.E.R.A. Representative & sponsored-family members in India

Tashi Delek! Namaste! Since our charity was founded in 1986, we’ve been creating better lives for the very poorest people of impoverished multi-ethnic communities in India, Nepal & Tibet.

Please see the BLOG for our latest news

Throughout our history, we’ve helped to support these people with what the western world would consider as ‘basic needs’: education, health and welfare.  We have direct personal connections with our representatives on the ground in Nepal and India, who we trust as they have integrity in finding those in genuine need.

The dedication and commitment of our small international team means that our help has reached 1000s of people by transforming your donations into vital aid.
Emergency food parcels for Covid-19 relief in Nepal and India, education sponsorship for children in Nepal, Tibet and India, outside toilets for a rural community in India, and winter uniforms for Nepalese schoolchildren – a
nd many more essentials that they would otherwise struggle to find, or simply not have at all.

PLEASE HELP us to continue providing vital sponsorship for the families, children & elderly
who need our support now more than ever.

OUR CURRENT PROJECTS

OUR TRUSTEES ACCEPT NO SALARY & VOLUNTARILY PAY FOR THEIR OWN EXPENSES, SO THAT 100% OF YOUR DONATION GOES TO THOSE IN MOST NEED

 

In Nepal we sponsor the education, health and welfare of 19 impoverished Nepalese children. School fees are approximately £25 per month, which includes computer lessons from Class 1.

We’re also helping to sponsor bandages, other medications, and essential equipment  – including raw materials for making recycled footwear – at the Khokana Leprosy Centre (see video above). Our Covid-19 food relief program provided emergency food parcels to those in desperate need during lockdown in 2020.

Click here to read about the food relief that we sponsored and distributed to 50 of the very poorest families in September 2022, to help them with the cost of living crisis.

We also currently sponsor the health and welfare of 16 families (see below), our representative and an elderly Tibetan (and others when aid is needed) in an impoverished community in India. The Indian mothers, sometimes with up to five children all living in one room, have often been abandoned or left unsupported due to severe family health issues or bereavement. 

Our successful Covid-19 appeal during 2020 provided emergency food parcels for many families in extreme need during lockdown restrictions that year. We are presently on the lookout for people in desperate circumstances whose only form of support is what we can provide.
