About the Tibetan Children's Village (TCV)
From its humble beginning 54 years ago, Tibetan Children's Village has today become a thriving, integrated educational community for destitute Tibetan children in exile, as well as for hundreds of those escaping from Tibet every year. It has established branches in India extending from Ladakh in the North to Bylakuppe in South, with over 16,726 children under its care. Fifty four years is not a short period in anyone's life and certainly not in the life of TCV. Tibetan Children's Village realizes the enormous responsibility it bears for the destiny of our Tibetan children and for the goodwill of the thousands of its donors and friends around the world who have sustained it through all these years.
Though much has been achieved, TCV still has a long way to go in fulfilling their aims and objectives of providing the children under their care with the necessary resources and the opportunities to develop their abilities to the fullest.
As has been highlighted by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in his message on thier 35th Anniversary; "the future direction of our programme will be in the field of further education in specialised studies to meet the human resource needs of the community during our period in exile and more importantly when the time comes for us to go back to our homeland..."
