Sponsorship Programs
Shechen Monastery in Nepal needs your support for the growing number of monks who are coming to study and practice. The monastery provides for the monks’ complete education in addition to covering all expenses for food, shelter, clothing and medical care.

The students receive a government high school certificate once they finish their studies. The school employs women, lay people, and monastic teachers, and subjects include science, math English language, Nepali, social studies, and Tibetan reading and writing.
Nuns Fund
Shechen Orgyen Chodzong Nunnery in Bhutan provides a similar training and education for women, including a nine-year shedra or college training. One hundred and eighty nuns live, practice meditation, and are educated in two rural nunneries and a retreat center. They are taught by Shechen khenpos and lopons and nuns who have graduated the college.
The younger girls, ages 5-14, live and are educated in a smaller nunnery in the Valley of the Cranes.
Your tax-deductible annual contribution of only $250 goes towards the support of a young monk or a nun and also helps to sustain the community as a whole.
This is a rare opportunity to help young people inherit the richness of their own culture and to preserve a vital link for future generations.
