Our Programs:
Since its establishment in 1998, the Tibet Poverty Alleviation Fund (TPAF) has been helping poor and disadvantaged Tibetan families and communities to participate more actively in Tibet’s rapidly expanding modern cash economy, and thereby increasing their incomes and improving their living standards. In recent years we supported skills training and cottage and village enterprise development, enabling Tibetans to secure steady employment in rural and urban enterprises.
TPAF currently cooperates directly with local Tibetan individuals, families and communities, implementing projects in the areas of:
-
household and small enterprise development:
-
Tibetan artisan products promotion and cultural preservation
-
rural and urban employable skills training;
-
villager health, nutrition and hygiene behavior changes;
-
cultural and eco-tourism development; and
-
improved living conditions for children in orphanages.
