Rokpa is a worldwide charity founded in 1980 by Dr. Akong Tulku Rinpoche, a Tibetan doctor and teacher, Lea Wyler and her father Veit Wyler the Swiss lawyer. Its aim is to improve the quality of life of the poorest peoples around the world irrespective of their religion, nationality or cultural background.
The word Rokpa means to help or to serve in Tibetan.
Rokpa supports or runs over 120 projects in: Tibetan areas of China, Nepal, Zimbabwe, South Africa.
The majority of these are aimed at giving children from the poorest backgrounds the opportunity of an education and training. Rokpa also funds healthcare and a small number of environmental projects. The preservation and regeneration of Tibet’s rich culture and language has always been an important aspect of our work.
