Our missions to Tibet bring as many kinds of help as is possible at one time to the 4,000 people living in the remote villages and settlements that surround Raktrul Monastery in Eastern Tibet. Newsletters of our 2009 mission ( page left) will provide some insight into the needs in the area.

Please visit our 2010 Earthquake Mission Report. We were on the ground to help survivors of the devastating quake in April of 2010, all the while preparing to return as soon as possible.

Your generous donations made our 2011 Mission a great success. Photo albums will soon be online. The Raktrul Foundation is already making plans to return to Tibet in 2012. Please visit our Donations page to see how you can help. The Medical and Solar pages have more information.

Average cash income for rural Tibetan families we serve is between $182 & $640 US.

For most families, cash income comes from raising crops and working outside the home.

Most villagers do not have electric power and most all cannot afford to purchase power when available. We will help improve life in rural Tibet.

The Poverty Report

Almost all children are delivered at home without trained health care providers to assist, putting both mothers and infants at serious risk of permanent injury or death.

Another cause of infant and child mortality is the lack of transportation to emergency medical care. Medicines and vaccinations are in short supply.

Raktrul Foundation has just completed solar installations at the Nunnery/Clinic,the Orphanage/School, the house at Raktrul, and the Community Center.

We are very pleased to report that our 2009 Medical mission was a success. Your donations made that success possible and we look forward to your support.
