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. The Tibetan Nuns Project is dedicated to: - Improving standards of food, sanitation, medical care, and education in Tibetan nunneries - Working towards future self-sufficiency through educational and training opportunities - Training nuns to take leadership and service roles within their communities - Improving the level and status of ordained Buddhist women - Assisting recently arrived refugee nuns from Tibet - Continuing to establish further facilities for Buddhist nuns - Through our sponsorship program, funded by sponsors from around the world, we currently support over 700 Tibetan nuns living in north India. The Tibetan Nuns Project was established under the auspices of the Tibetan Women's Association and the Department of Religion and Culture of H.H. the Dalai Lama.

YELE HAITI is now one of the charities we support with proceeds from our store. Our store is supplied mostly by fair trade, organic or small community projects. A large percentage of the sales go to charities in the same area, for a total investment of 40-50% of the total price directly affecting those communities. |
