Tibetans have lived as refugees for many years and the number of aged Tibetans is increasing.  Many of these elders do not have either social support or families to care for them so the need is urgent for elder housing where their basic needs are met. 

The Tsering Elder Home was constructed in Kathmandu, Nepal in 2003 with seed money to purchase land from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and funding from the Tibet Fund for construction of the home. Currently 50 Tibetan elders receive a safe and warm place to live as well as nutritious meals, health and social services, and clothing at the Home. 

The Home has no source of permanent income to help meet the daily expenses of the elders and for the maintenance expenses of the home and for staff salaries and must therefore solicit funding. 

Please consider making a general donation for the Home, or you may sponsor an elder at the rate of $30/month, or $360/year.  The following elders would be grateful for a sponsor:
