Orphanage

The orphanage at Chodrak monastery cares for around 100 children ranging in age from 5 to 16 years. Due to the harsh conditions in Eastern Tibet, many young children are orphaned , or their parents, who are often nomads are unable to provide for them. The orphanage provides them with food, accomodation and an education, which would otherwise see them begging for survival in a poor and remote part of Tibet. The orphanage was started by the kindness of Khenpo Damcho Dawa Rinpoche, a senior teacher at Chodrak. Khenpo provides all financial requirements for the children and orphanage. Any money given to Khenpo from students is given to the orphanage. 100% of your donation will go towards the health, education or improving the rudimentary conditions of the orphanage.
