More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Help provide access to education for the neediest children - the orphans, those with only one parent or those from very poor families. The earthquake that hit the south of Qinghai Province on 14 April resulted in many more orphans who will need help for a long time to come. Supporting the children by providing shelter, food, education and comfort enables them to come to terms with the trauma they have suffered so they can achieve their full potential to benefit themselves and their community.

Activities

Our aim is to provide the neediest children with a solid educational foundation on which they can build. ROKPA also ensures that the children are taught their own language - Tibetan - giving them access to employment opportunities in later years.

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

By raising education standards, employment prospects increase and the pupils' families, communities and schools will all benefit. As the pupils' grow and have their own families, they are more likely to ensure that their children are educated also.

Project Message

"I dream of being a teacher out in the countryside, in the areas where the nomads live. I would like people to want to send their children to school. Thanks to ROKPA I can now continue my studies."
- Kang Lha, Schoolgirl
