THE TADRA PROJECT

Until our policy changed in 2002, encouraging promoters to choose local issuse and charities, the single project that Earthdance International and promoters supported from 1997 - 2002 was the Tadra Children's Village in Eastern Tibet.  This Tibetan charity based in Germany supports homeless Tibetan children, many of whom would not otherwise survive the bitterly cold Tibetan winters.  Over the period Earthdance parties globally raised enough funds to build two children's homes ad begin the construction of a much-needed medical center. Some promoters still choose to support the tadra project.

On an international level, Earthdance continues to support many non-profit organizations.
