© 2008 RIGUL TRUST -
100% of all donations received will go to fund activities in the field.
All necessary expenses are met privately by volunteers.
A purpose built school, the first ever, has been built and now takes about 65 children a day, including 24 girls.
Many children walk for over an hour each way to get to school.
Last year enough donations came in to give all 65 children two hot meals a day at school for a year......

We started our fundraising for Rigul and other Tibetans when we heard about the poverty and hardship ......
Rigul Trust is a UK based charity whose main aim is to provide funds for the provision of basic health care and education and relief from poverty amongst communities worldwide, and in particular the people of some of the most remote areas of Tibet.
Yes, we want your old ink cartridges and mobile phones which will then be recycled and so prevent yet more rubbish and landfill and earn money for Rigul!
Over 50 million ink cartridges per year are thrown away in the UK and end up in land fill sites where they will take over a 1,000 years to decompose. In the UK alone an estimated 15 million mobile phones are discarded every year and over 100 million are hoarded as they still have a monetary value.
