Nangqian Tibetan Foundation (NTF) is a charitable organization which aims to improve the poor health and illiteracy of Tibetans living in a remote region on the Tibetan Plateau in China.
NTF was originally established in 2001 by Tibetan monks in a local monastery (Driru Lhachen Gonpa), outside the township of Nangqian, in Qinghai Province, China. NTF works with the poor (and mostly nomadic) Tibetan community which surrounds the monastery.
NTF operates a clinic and a school. The clinic currently has two doctors and dispenses medicines free of charge for minor, but life-threatening respiratory, intestinal and other illnesses. It also provides basic education about health matters. The school is a primary school for local children, where tuition and basic accommodation are provided without charge to approximately 85 students.
