The nuns are extremely poor and in desperate need of support. They live in isolated nunneries located in the Ganzi valley. Sponsorship monies make a great difference to the nuns, as they generally receive less local support than do monks.

Payments are held in trust by the nunnery management and are used to improve the health, accommodation and opportunities to access higher level teachings for all the nuns.

It is hard to emphasise enough just how appreciative the nuns are of the support they receive from us.

Nunneries in the Ganzi valley

All nuns identified as being in need are now currently sponsored, however this can change at any time. Please see the student or monk pages for people still needing assistance.

Many thanks to the Tsechen Buddhist Centre in Toowong, Queensland for their generous donation, which has allowed ALL our Nuns that were seeking sponsorship, to be sponsored for 2012.
