More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

The Bon are a minority ethnic group that live in mainly rural Nepal. Less than one-third of the children go to school because of insecurity and lack of schools. The Tibetan Bon community in Dolanji, India, is providing educational and hostel facilities for hundreds of Nepalese Bon children that have been sent by their parents in Nepal for schooling. Many other children are on the waiting list.

Activities

The Yungdrung Bon Monastic Center (YBMC) will provide hostel facilities and schooling for 25 Nepalese girls and boys for one year.

Latest Update from the Field

Update on AIL Nepalese School

By Alison Hendry - Administrative Assistant, March 02, 2009 11:11 AM

As of February 2009, there were 200 Bon children from Northern Nepal attending the school for Tibetan Bon in the Bon settlement in Dolanji, India. 33 are girls and 67 are boys. All of the children are Bon from rural Nepal where there are no schools. All of the children come from very poor families. Some of the children are orphans. The students are able to study to the 10th class at the school and then have a chance to go to higher education institutions.
