Here is our wish list of current needs and projects for the nuns and nunneries.
- HOUSING FOR ELDER NUNS: Please help provide safe, comfortable rooms for elder nuns at Dolma Ling Nunnery and Institute. There are nuns who are fragile and ill who need your help.
- TEMPLE ROOF REPAIR: The temple roof at Shugsep is leaking, causing great discomfort and concern among the 115 Tibetan Buddhist nuns there. Please help the nuns repair it.
- LONG-TERM STABILITY FUND: Donate to the Long-Term Stability Fund, a quasi-endowment, that will build a strong and stable future for Tibetan nuns living in exile in northern India. No matter what the future of Tibet holds, you can help these dedicated and courageous women to preserve their culture and spiritual traditions.
- HIGHER STUDIES FOR NUNS: Please help provide crucial, long-term support for Tibetan Buddhist nuns who wish to pursue higher studies and become teachers and leaders.
- SHUGSEP KITCHEN IMPROVEMENTS: The kitchen at Shugsep Nunnery is subject to extreme heat and cold making it unsafe and uncomfortable for those who are cooking. Please help us insulate the metal roof to manage the intense summer heat and the winter cold.
- TEACHERS’ SALARIES: We need help to fund teachers’ salaries at various Tibetan Buddhist nunneries in India. The annual cost of one teacher’s salary ranges from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the location of the nunnery and the skills of the teacher.
- SPONSOR A NUN: Sponsor a nun for just $1 a day and provide her with education, food, shelter, health care, and opportunity.
- MONTHLY GIFTS: A little goes a long way! Become a monthly supporter at any amount you choose and provide the essentials of life such as food, shelter, and education to the nuns.
To enable us to help the nuns in whatever way is needed, you can donate to the Area of Greatest Need.
