BACKGROUND

1. Dharamshala is now home to approximately 15,000 additional Tibetans living in exile.
2. Migrating communities and others were forced to leave their home, faced loneliness and isolation from family and friends, unemployment and a lack of economic opportunities, difficulty integrating, and the loss of cultural heritage.

TIBET WORLD where the Tibet meets the world and the world meets Tibet.

1. Yeshi Lhundup founded Tibet World to help fellow Tibetans overcome the same challenges he faced.
2. Platform for promoting education, raising cultural awareness, and imparting Tibetan values to the world.
3. Meeting point for the Tibetan community and people from around the world.
4. Tibet World gives Tibetan refugees the tools and strategies to address their own personal barriers and motivate themselves to get the most out of their life.

CHALLENGE

One of the primary challenges faced by Tibetans in exile is that many are unable to converse in international languages. Without conversational language skills, particularly in English, their attempts at integration and finding employment are more likely to fail.  Not having the language to promote and explain their way of life to non-Tibetan speakers also limits their ability to preserve their culture.

VISION

Tibet World is a role model of a compassionate organization, committed to developing inner peace, self-reliance, and building a more harmonious world.

MISSION

Tibet World provides a platform for promoting education, raising cultural awareness and imparting Tibetan Buddhist values to the world by inspiring people to initiate compassion, harmony, and peace.

VALUE

Compassion: All actions of the organization must be carried out in the spirit of  compassion

Harmony: To unite all people in the world

Peace:  We treat others as  we treat ourselves
