Tibetan Education & Relief Association
including Himalayan Communities (T.E.R.A.)
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. |
PLEASE HELP us to continue providing vital sponsorship for the families, children & elderly
who need our support now more than ever.

|
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. |
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. |

We have always been an ethical charity – please see our Ethical Fundraising policy here.
