Tibet: Why Tibetans are in exile and how, with your donations, Tibet Relief Fund has helped.

in #tibet7 years ago


Why Tibetans need your help?

In 1950 China invaded Tibet and after a failed bloody uprising in 1959, the Dalai Lama fled Tibet in fear of his life.

Since then:

over 100,000 Tibetans have left Tibet,
4,000 monasteries destroyed,
Tibetans are routinely arrested and detained and
over one million have lost their lives

Since 1959 Tibet Relief Fund has worked with Tibetans living in exile and inside Tibet funding:

*Schools, training and Health centres
*Preserving Tibetan culture, and
*Sponsorship of over 5,000 children, monks, nuns and elderly Tibetans.

But, There’s still much to do
