This $5,978,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under the USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) program aims to strengthen the economic, social, and cultural resilience of Tibetan communities in South Asia. The primary awardee, The Tibet Fund, will use the funding over a 5-year period from September 2024 to September 2029 to deliver a comprehensive set of humanitarian, educational, and cultural preservation initiatives.
Key activities include academic exchange programs to enable Tibetan students from India and Nepal to pursue master's degrees in the U.S., as well as on-the-ground humanitarian assistance such as health services, educational resources, livelihood support, and cultural preservation for Tibetan refugees. The Tibet Fund collaborates with several sub-grantees, including the Tibetan Children's Educational and Welfare Fund, Dalai Lama's Religious and Cultural Society, and Tibetan Voluntary Health Association, to implement these programs targeting the Tibetan diaspora communities in South Asia.
