Tibetan Refugee Health Care Project was created to facilitate medical treatment and disease prevention education among the over 135,000 Tibetans currently living in resettlement camps in India. Along with bringing in much needed medical supplies and equipment, we also bring in qualified volunteer health care professionals who hold clinics and give treatments in the form of acupuncture, nutritional education and women's health education. The project has begun to expand its teams of health care professionals to include medical doctors, dentists, health educators, environmentalists, and other medical personnel, all on a volunteer basis.

In addition, our goal is to train Tibetans to be able to help in the care of their own communities. Other projects include anti-malaria initiatives as well as water purification and agricultural projects.
