Tashi Delek! / Welcome

Architecture for Tibet ... ... is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of Tibetans living in exile in impoverished regions of Arunachal Pradesh, Northeast India. We create places of well-being and self-improvement, from which Tibetan values of compassion, patience and generosity can strengthen and spread.   We are focused on the well-being and education of Tibetan children. Towards that end, we create sound environments for these children to learn in, so they can go out into the world with real hope of Tibet's cultural continuation.   For more information, or to learn of ways to help, please contact us at: info@architecturefortibet.org mailto:info@architecturefortibet.org?subject=shapeimage_5_link_0

"This is a part of the world which has been in the news a great deal, as of late, with conflicts of politics. What gets lost is a small girl carrying books which probably weigh more than she does, going to school which has virtually no educational amenities. Education, after all, is the one and only key to leave the room of poverty behind. That is why architecture -- and the building of an orphanage and a school is so important ... It provides children with a new view of life out its windows; a new horizon of ambition and a stable and safe world to grow ... " -- Daniel Libeskind ( visionary Architect ) Libeskind__lg_2.html
