About Us
Tong-Len Charitable Trust was registered in December 2004, with a vision to help destitute Indian children, seen begging in the streets and scavenging in the rubbish dumps, gain access to education. Tong-Len UK was founded in March 2005 to raise funds for Tong-Len Charitable Trust. Agir Ensemble pour Tong-Len became a registered association in France in 2018 with the sole purpose of supporting Tong-Len’s work in India.
In some projects, especially health, Tong-Len works in partnership with the Dalai Lama Trust.
