Due to China's illegal occupation of Tibet since 1959, over 130,000 Tibetan refugees currently struggle to meet their basic survival needs, while facing modern environmental health hazards in India. Click here for our latest project Tibetan monks are burning garbage, unaware that they are exposing themselves to toxic smoke. Since 1995, Solutions in Action has been working hand-in-hand with Tibetan refugees and His Holiness the Dalai Lama's Tibetan government in exile, located in Dharamshala, India. In India, we organize Environmental Health education and service projects such as Preventative Environmental Health teacher training and consultation, an Emergency Fund for Tibetans in extreme need situations and the Tibetan-US Student Alliance, promoting intercultural dialogue between Tibetan and US students. In the United States, we function as a Tibet Support Group whose aim is to educate the public about the plight of Tibet and other endangered peoples and the environments upon which they depend.  We emphasize Tibet's powerful example of non-violence and compassion in their struggle for freedom, while facing human rights abuse and cultural genocide. We are a 501(c)3, non-profit, grassroots environment, education and service organization, based in the USA, dedicated to compassionate action for endangered peoples & environments. We are also a member of the Conscious Alliance Network.
