The Tibetan Homes Foundation is a registered non-profit charitable institution dedicated in working for the cause and care of the orphan, semi-orphan and destitute Tibetan refugee children as well as needy elderly people. Almost four decades have gone by since its small beginning in the November 1962 by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Today, the Tibetan Homes Foundation is a well-integrated community and a model educational center with different family homes, schools, health care, vocational training and aged homes to serve the needs of our society. It aims not only to provide the basic comforts and education but also helps to preserve and promote our rich traditions, moral values and cultural heritage of Tibet.

Presently, we are taking care of about 2400 children and 350 elderly people. This number continues to increase because the children from Tibet continue to escape from the occupied Tibet and arrive at our doorsteps. The THF has been a great success in the care and welfare of the children and elderly people who really need to be saved from the worst possible hardship in this world.  Our success can be measured with thousands of children who have passed out from this organization and are now able to stand on their own feet either following self-supporting business or serving the Tibetan community in various fields in India and abroad. This has no doubt been made possible with the generous assistance of many kind individuals, friends and donor organizations that have supported and continue to do so in giving a brighter life and strength to children and elderlies who otherwise are in a hopeless condition. We take this opportunity of expressing our deep gratitude to each and every one of our friends, particularly to the SOS Kinderdorf International who has been the backbone of our financial support.

Much has been achieved and much remains to be done. This updated information in webpage will serve not only as a reflection of our past achievements but also help rededicate our staff members for the future. We remain ever grateful to all our friends and supporters and hope that their blessing hands will continue to assist us in our work for the cause and care of these needy children and elderly people in the future.

TASHI DELEK!
