Tibet Relief Fund was founded in 1959 to provide urgent and vital support and aid in the form of food, clothing and medical assistance for those Tibetans who had followed the Dalai Lama to India. Over the ensuing 50 years, Tibet Relief Fund has expanded and developed its work and now runs and supports a wide range of life changing and innovative projects, helping and empowering Tibetans in India and Nepal and also inside Tibet.
