The intention of Bridging East-West is to build a bridge between East and West, to connect the people and develop understanding, mutual trust and respect for each other.

Since the Chinese occupation of Tibet 50 years ago many Tibetans have left their home country because the living conditions keep getting worse and worse. They flee to India to be able to live a free and peaceful life in exile. This is the only way to save their culture from extinction.

Bridging East-West...

...this foundation has been started with the intention to support elderly, disabled and sick people in the Tibetan community.

Bridging East-West...

• wants to provide these people with medical support, medical treatments and medical aid, for example walking sticks, wheelchairs, crutches, sitting toilets, hearing aid, and so on
• wants to find out what their needs are and therefore make a difference
• wants to give personal care and attention
• wants to reach the individual rather than to give money to an organisation
• wants to develop personal relationships and give support on a personal level

Another aspect of the work of our foundation 'Bridgeing East-West' is to advise disabled people as well as to provide support for them.

How you can help...

• become a member for 60€ a year
• support different projects with your financial help
• book or attend an event of Bridging East-West (dates will be posted in the newsletter)

"During my one-year-stay in McLeod Ganj I realized that it would be great importance to start a foundation helping elderly, sick, and disabled people."
- Judith Mauritz, Founder of "Bridging East-West"

The partner association Nying-Jay Yul in Dharamsala, India establishes contacts and deals with the needs of every individual there.
