- Lha Charitable Trust – Institute For Social Work and Education (Lha) is a grassroots, nonprofit organization, and one of the largest Tibetan social work organizations based in Dharamsala, India. It is the first organization that was established in exile to develop a primary focus on Tibetan social work. The Lha Charitable Trust was founded in 1997 and is registered as a charitable trust by the Himachal Pradesh government of India. Lha is managed by Tibetan refugees, is supported by volunteers and contributors from around the world, and serves refugees, the local Indian population and people from the surrounding Himalayan region. In a short period of time, the organization "has grown in leaps and bounds, from a small start-up with two computers to one of largest community based Tibetan NGOs in Dharamsala." Lha (Tibetan ལྷ་) is a Tibetan word that means "deity" or "divine."[4] The Trust offers volunteers and students the opportunity to engage in community service and social work on a permanent or temporary basis. On the website of Gaden Relief Projects (an organization that helps to preserve Tibetan culture in India, Mongolia, and Tibet), Lha is recognized as one of the organizations that offers volunteering opportunities.
