In 1993, the government granted us the permission to open the school and with the help and hard work of our community, we were able to develop a large school. We offer three dormitories with house mothers, a cafeteria, a shop, washing rooms, bathrooms, etc. for the students. The school also provides an on-site medical clinic, as well as special machines to be used in therapy for the physically challenged students. 

The School is situated in the main city of Lhasa, Tibet. Lhasa is a city with an abundance of natural resources, rich culture, and is politically, socially and technologically developed. It is also one of the most popular tourist places in the world. However, due to not interacting with the outside world in the past, we have not kept up with the economic and technology changes in other countries. 

There are thousands of orphaned, handicapped and poor people struggling hard for their livelihood. Most of them are in remote areas and poor villages. They face mental and physical problems coping with the outside environment. Keeping their hardships and hurdles in mind, we established this institution with educational and accommodation facilities and also to give vocational training by building the handicraft workshops. Until now, the family of this institution has tried their level best to meet the needs of the members of this school, but we need your help to remain a success for all Tibetans.

Children are brought to us by family, friends or relatives who can no longer look after them, and our current number of students is 158. With each passing day, more children seek admission into JCWSS and we are finding it increasingly difficult as we do not have the dormitory space to accommodate these children and cannot financially support them ... just yet.

Our annual operating costs for the entire orphanage and school is $90,000 USD. A sum of $50 would sponsor a child for one month while a $600 donation will sponsor one child for one full year! This money covers the costs of housing, food, clothing, complete education fees including teacher fees and house mother's salaries. Please consider a full sponsorship of $600 USD.
