Learning and Ideas for Tibet (LIT) is a nonprofit registered charity which provides free education to Tibetan refugees and provides a platform for Tibetans and their supporters to share ideas about the Tibetan issue, in order to provide Tibet with a brighter future.
LIT believes through education and communication Tibetan culture will remain alive despite China’s occupation of the region. Therefore, it offers a range of different classes and events in order to teach a diverse range of students.
Our classes include foreign languages, Health, Buddhism, Tibetan Grammar, Tibetan, Tibetan language for foreign students and English language to Tibetan students.
We have LIT our flame for Tibet. Please light yours and invite your friends to join us. So the fire can never be extinguished but will only grow stronger across the world.
Through a range of free-from-charge daily classes, LIT aims to provide:
Many Tibetans arrive in India with very limited funds and skills as many come from illiterate farming or nomadic backgrounds. Therefore, many refugees find it difficult to integrate into India which can lead to high unemployment rates, poverty and feelings of disempowerment and isolation. More . . .
LIT is always looking for volunteers to enhance our skills training center. Our volunteer program aims to have people from across the world come to India and share their skills with the Tibetan refugee community to support local and sustainable development. More . . .
