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 (Chinese: Kangding) and as allopathic healthworkers at Kamba University in Dartsedo, and we have enabled small groups of local people from Dzongsar and Thopa County to attend training courses in simple healthcare at Dzongsar Menkhang.

Another important aim of Heart of Asia is to fund the creation 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 funding the establishment of  two Tibetan Herbal Medicine clinics in two very remote villages in Drayab County, near Chamdo inside Tibet Autonomous Region. Tibetan Herbal Medicine Doctors from the area will run the clinics. One has been trained by and and worked with our partner in Tibet, Dr. Lodre Phuntsok of Dzongsar Menkhang.The other doctor is a gifted Khempo recommended by Dru gu Choegyal Rinpoche.

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.

Recently Heart of Asia has started a small project in India, providing toilets for village people who are below the poverty line living in the Kangra Valley of Himachal Pradesh.
