Nangqian Tibetan Foundation

Nangqian Tibetan Foundation (NTF) is a charitable organization which aims to improve the poor health and illiteracy of Tibetans living in a remote region on the Tibetan Plateau in China.

NTF was originally established in 2001 by Tibetan monks in a local monastery (Driru Lhachen Gonpa), outside the township of Nangqian, in Qinghai Province, China. NTF works with the poor (and mostly nomadic) Tibetan community which surrounds the monastery.

NTF operates a clinic and a school. The clinic currently has two doctors and dispenses medicines free of charge for minor, but life threatening respiratory, intestinal and other illnesses. It also provides basic education about health matters. The school is a primary school for local children, where tuition and basic accommodation are provided without charge to approximately 85 students.
