KARUNA DANA – SCHOOL FOR TIBET
KARUNA DANA is an organisation for cooperation and development
aimed at protecting people’s cultural identity and improving their living
conditions through the promotion of development
KARUNA DANA was created for the purpose of bringing resources to those poor people who fight for a future so they can live with human dignity and without loosing their cultural heritage.
We are registered with Spanish National non Governmental Agencies Register holding 169.122 number as well as with the Spanish National non Governmental Agencies Register for international Cooperation.
At KARUNA DANA we believe that the only possible future for people who look toward progress without fear must be based on their own cultural heritage. That is why transmitting that heritage is of vital importance.
Currently our main project in being implemented in the area of KHAM: a school where 325 Tibetan children can attend classes.
Illiteracy rates are very high in this region due to the poverty of farming families who scarcely find resources for their own survival.
Our goal is to help children from KHAM gain access to basic education, and to do it in their language: Tibetan.
At KARUNA DANA we have established two activity branches for this project:
- Sustaining the total ordinary expenses of the school. Lack of monetary resources is seriously threatening the continuity of the school.
- Building new infrastructures with the objective of converting the school into a boarding school able to host 800 children. If we reach this figure, we will be providing schooling to the majority of children in the region.
The building of new facilities where pupils, teachers and workers can live is of vital importance to the schooling of these children. Living in an agricultural area, most of the children have to spend two-three hours per day commuting. In winter, ice and snow make it very difficult for them.
The project includes the building of at least two sites for bedrooms, canteens and classrooms for children and another for teachers and staff.
