The Prajnopaya Foundation

The Prajnopaya Foundation is a worldwide humanitarian organization, with the purpose of alleviating suffering and caring for society by developing innovative Health, Education and Social Welfare projects. Prajnopaya is derived from Sanskrit terms Prajna (Widsom) and Upaya (compassion and skillful means). The Foundation is based on Buddhist principles of providing care for all regardless of ethnicity, religion or gender under the patronage of HH the Dalai Lama.

Ahan Program

The objective of the Aahan program is to develop a model TB control program that is community specific. Official statistics rarely give an accurate picture of the situation on the ground, and are a poor guide for program design. For this reason, it is essential to spend considerable effort in collecting data, building relationships and training staff to make sure the program is a success.
