In the ancient land of Tibet, cultural traditions that have endured for millennia are rapidly being lost. In rural Golok, better education, good economic planning and environmental preservation are necessary for the continuation of those traditions.

The Blue Valley Foundation” has been established to help preserve traditional Tibetan culture and society and to improve the quality of life for Tibetans in Qinghai Province, The State of Golok, and elsewhere in Tibet. Our mandate is to support education, conservation, language and crafts, and scalable livelihood and energy production.

In the words of our founder:

“The objective of this Foundation is simply to do the utmost to promote altruistic activities for the general welfare of Society. The most pressing need, and thus the principal focus of the Foundation at present, is to support Tibetan educational development and Tibetan students. The Foundation also will provide support in the form of food, housing, health care and other necessities of life to the elderly lacking caretakers, to disabled individuals, and to the poor.”

“The foundation aims to research and preserve, maintain and fulfill the true and correct history and culture of Gesar of Ling (Tibet). Another aim is to restore the natural environment as well as endangered species."

“In these highest mountain regions on the roof of the world there are few effective means of communication and the means and conditions for obtaining material resources are scarce. The people are beset by many kinds of hardships and difficulties. This is apparent.”
