Training courses

Heart of Asia has been funding three week training courses in simple healthcare at Dzongsar Menkhang (the Tibetan herbal medicine hospital.) Tibetan speaking volunteer health workers from the UK share their knowledge with selected people from Dzongsar-Meshu and from Dru gu.

We aim to empower local men and women with basic hygiene, nutrition, first aid, maternity and child healthcare skills to create a network of barefoot health workers who can both help and educate their communities.

£1,200 will pay for a three week training course at Dzongsar Menkhang.

  • Ten people donating £10 per month will pay for this.
