Why This Program Matters

The Tibetan diaspora is global, and so is the crisis of elder care. In Tibetan settlements across India and Nepal, aging populations face severe resource constraints. Homes for the aged operate on minimal budgets, often without adequate healthcare, nutrition, or facility maintenance.

HEP's Global Elder Care Initiative channels the resources, expertise, and compassion of the diaspora community in New York to support partner institutions abroad — ensuring that Himalayan elders are cared for regardless of which country they call home.

The Impact

Our international work reflects a core belief: caring for elders is not bounded by geography. The same grandmother who might be served in our Queens program could just as easily be in a settlement in Dharamsala or Kathmandu.

Through this initiative, we connect the prosperity and resources of the diaspora community with the urgent needs of elders in the homeland — creating a cycle of care that spans continents and honors the Himalayan tradition of respecting those who came before us.
