Tibetan Education & Relief Association

The Tibetan Education & Relief Association including Himalayan Communities – or ‘T.E.R.A.’ – was founded in 1986, and since then has been creating better lives for the very poorest people of impoverished multi-ethnic communities in India, Nepal & Tibet. 

Throughout its history, T.E.R.A. has helped to support these people with what the western world would consider as ‘basic needs’ – education, health and welfare. We have direct personal connections with our representatives on the ground in Nepal and India, who we trust as they have integrity in finding those in genuine need. The dedication and commitment of our small international team means that our help has reached 1000s of people by transforming your donations into vital aid. Emergency food parcels for Covid-19 relief in Nepal and India; education sponsorship for children in Nepal, Tibet and India; outside toilets for a rural community in India; winter uniforms for Nepalese schoolchildren; food relief in Nepal for families struggling with the cost-of-living crisis; and vital medical supplies for a leprosy clinic in Nepal – we have provided these, and many more essentials that they would otherwise struggle to find, or simply not have at all.

Your donation enables us to support the education, health and welfare – through the kind of aid mentioned above – of children, families and the elderly in impoverished Himalayan communities.
