Featured Project


Pema and her friend Scott, who is a generous donor, have joined forces in offering $100,000 in the form of a challenge grant towards a desperately needed new primary school at Tsoknyi Gechak Ling Monastery in the foothills of the Kathmandu Valley.

The present primary school is bursting at the seams as more and more young women are wanting to attend the school to become nuns. The time to build the new school is now and crucial!

Won’t you stand with them to help support the construction and raise the needed funds to build the new school?
