Education@Elevation About Education At Elevation

Education at Elevation (E@E) is committed to improving the lives of Tibetan orphans, poor children, and elders living in rural Eastern Tibet. Our vision is to bring hope to the children through education as well as emotional and spiritual support, to provide them with roots for a brighter future.

Founded in 2007, this non-profit organization raises funds throughout the year to provide clothing, shoes, food, healthcare, teacher salaries, and other necessities for the children. Education at Elevation works closely with the school’s founder and spiritual leader, Sonam Rinpoche, as well as with project coordinators and teachers at the school.

Since the school’s inception, we have seen the students thrive intellectually as well as socially. The school not only provides an education and a nurturing home for the children, but it also serves as a family foundation for the children who have been orphaned or abandoned. Due to the harsh conditions of the region, limited healthcare options, and other challenging social conditions, more than half of the students at the school are orphans or have lost one parent.
