Roadmap of Tibetan Village Project
Past:
2001 - 2005: Since its inception, TVP has made a difference in the lives
of over 8000 Tibetan villagers through (1) building / renovating four bridges,
(2) 
building one school and distributing school supplies to 10 schools with over
1,200 students, and (3) providing medical care for over 3,200 patients through
three clinics and one mobile clinic. In the process, TVP has developed a project
model from its bottom-up approach and proven its dedication to continue its work
in the long run despite the sensitive political circumstances in which it operates. Click here to learn more about our past accomplishments.
Present:
2006 - 2010: While continuing to support ongoing medical and educational
programs, TVP is taking the initiative to address the sustainability of projects
by building its organizational capacity with leadership roles from committed board
members and training Tibetan project coordinators. TVP is starting to generate
earned income through volun-tourism trips to Tibet. It is further developing and
supporting several income generating pilot projects (artisan store, motorbike repairs, trade school,
and greenhouse, etc.).
Long
Term Goal - 2010 and Beyond: Instead of growing in every project sector
(such as education and healthcare programs), TVP will continue to fund and improve
existing projects through training, resource management, and self-supporting initiatives.
To reduce donation dependency and promote self-sufficiency, TVP will expand its
projects in the area of income generating micro-enterprises. TVP feels that it
is essential, in today's globalized economy, for Tibetans to integrate into a
cash-based economy since the traditional bartering system is no longer viable.
To that end, TVP will implement an income generation model program that will be
replicated on a systematic, regional level to tackle the issue of Tibet's growing
economic marginalization as well as the viability of its cultural survival.
