Kyegu Relief Fund is a charitable overseas aid fund that is voluntary, not-for-profit, non-government and established for disaster relief and the relief of poverty through development aid activities.  

The Fund was established in response to the devastating 7.1 magnitude earthquake that hit the eastern Tibetan town of Kyegu (known as Yushu in Chinese) on 14 April 2010. 

The humanitarian need is ongoing and significant. Approximately 10,000 people were killed, 20,000 people injured and 100,000 people homeless and destitute. More than 90% of the buildings were reduced to rubble. Many survivors have no family left. Thousands were cremated at the local Kyegu Monastery. 

You can help in a number of ways through the Kyegu Relief Fund:
• sponsor an orphaned or disadvantaged child 
• help us provide other ongoing needs to the general community
• help us build a family more stable accommodation
• if you're a knitter, donate 100% wool items via Knit for Tibet.

Your support is vital in enabling us to continue our work to help the people of Kyegu get back on their feet.      

The Fund does not have any paid employees, we work on a voluntary basis. Your donations really do go to those in need and you can donate either via PayPal or direct deposit.

It's more than one year on and many victims do not have stable housing as can be seen from the recent photos below. In our increasingly disaster-laden world, some tragedies get forgotten and this is one of them.
