Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
The second Tibetan Refugee Livelihood Support Programme has been launched by the Central Tibetan Administration. INR 21 Crore (US $ 3 Million / £ 2 Million) is earmarked to provide loans to the most needy members of the Tibetan community at a minimal 4% interest rate. The pilot programme last year supported nearly 900 Tibetan sweater sellers who repaid in full earlier this year, earning the admiration of USAID, the funding agency.
