The Need

The elderly home called “Dechen Pema Choling” is a home for elderly Tibetans who can no longer take care of themselves. With no family members to provide care, these elderly face immense hardships. Many of them were nomads in their younger years, but their physical condition no longer allows them to work as nomads. Dechen Pema Choling is their only hope. Your support for these elderly Tibetans is greatly needed.

 

At the heart of the work that Joru Foundation does is the belief that all people have something to offer the world. The problem is that many people face hardships and do not have access to the resources they need in order to realize their potential. The Joru Foundation is a non profit organization dedicated to supporting quality education inside Tibet. They believe that education is the most crucial tool that one must be equipped with in order to be able to thrive and accomplish their goals. Their work focuses on a school in the Golok region called Sengdruk Taktse School.
