Gamyul Phanday Tsogspa is a Swiss association (Gam
means remote, Yul village, Phanday well-being and Tsogspa society) dedicated to
handicapped children of Ladakh while (also) supporting remote
villages of that region of India, in the Himalayas.
Our association has two goals:
-
bring a concrete help to handicapped children. A teacher specialized in teaching children with special needs works with physically and mentally deficient pupils aged from 4 to 16. She visits the families and as well as a small institution dedicated to these children.
-
support locals living in settlements situated above 4000m (13000 ft) out of road range, in the fields of social life, education and economy. However this is to remain a temporary help as to not create a dependence.
Currently Gamyul Phanday Tsogspa intends to increase mainly its area
dedicated to physically and/or mentally challenged children.
