Rigul Trust is a UK Charity whose main aim is to provide funds for the provision of basic health care, education and poverty relief amongst Tibetan refugee communities in India, and in particular remote areas of Tibet, such as Rigul. We fund schools, health clinics and basic welfare projects in Tibet and India.

The community of Rigul, Kham, Tibet, is the birthplace of Ringu Tulku Rinpoche and the surrounding areas lie in a very remote area on the high altitude Tibetan plateau.

Here the folk don’t have any running water, toilets, gas or solar heating. We started our fundraising for Rigul and other Tibetans when we heard about the poverty and hardship experienced by the Tibetan people since the Chinese invasion and occupation of their country.

The nomadic people of Rigul on the high Tibetan plateau live at an altitude of 12,795 feet and existence is marginal in a sparsely vegetated fragile ecosystem and where winters are extremely harsh. Living in a remote area far from any of the supports for life which we take for granted, they lacked basic healthcare, a school, and still have no piped water, electricity, telephone or sanitation.

Rigul Trust is helping Ringu Tulku Rinpoche in his endeavours to improve the living conditions in Rigul, Tibet. Specifically this means funding the clinic and the school at the moment, and other projects aimed at sustainable economic and social development of the community as funds become available.
