Funding

Heart of Asia funds a variety of Health Care initiatives in eastern Tibet. One of our major aims is to enable local people to have access to various levels of allopathic and/or traditional Tibetan Herbal Medicine knowledge to allow them to eventually take control of their healthcare themselves. We fund the training of young people as herbal medicine doctors at Sichuan Provincial Tibetan School in Dartsedo (Ch. Kangding), and we have enabled small groups of local people from Dzongsar and Thopa County to attend training courses in simple healthcare at Dzongsar Menkhang. We also plan to fund the wages of an experienced Tibetan Herbal Doctor to share the work of the overworked Doctors at Dzongsar Menkhang.

Another important aim of Heart of Asia is to fund the establishment of a simple clinic in Thopa County, TAR. The clinic will have a mainly allopathic bias but we also hope it will also include simple Tibetan Herbal medicine to treat conditions where this is a cheaper and more effective option.

Heart of Asia is also setting up small emergency funds, starting with Dzongsar area. These will facilitate poor people needing immediate life saving treatment reaching hospital and paying for their treatment there. Heart of Asia is working very closely with the communities we aim to help in order to develop appropriate responses to the changing conditions they find themselves in, and to build on the knowledge and networks that they already have.

We appeal for your donations so that we can continue this vital work.

For example:

• Ten people donating £55 per month will fund the setting up of a simple allopathic clinic in Thopa County, TAR.(Read More)
