Future Initiatives
Fair Trade Tibetan Flag Project
In cooperation with Rogpa Charitable Trust’s Tibetan Craft
Center, RTFC is planning to establish a Fair Trade Tibetan Flag
Project to provide economic empowerment to low-income Tibetan refugees
in Dharamsala. Currently, an RTFC purchases Tibetan flag from various
distributors in India and often times, flag supplies exceeds the
demand. However, after enough funds have been raised, RTFC will
invest in a small scale flag printing studio and hire unemployed
Tibetan refugees under international fair trade standards.
Fair Trade Tibetan T-shirt Project
In order to provide more employment and raise more funds, RTFC will
also be establishing a Fair Trade Tibetan T-shirt Project. Sharing
the same printing studio, RTFC will be partnering with graphic designers
to create Tibetan themed screen print T-shirts from locally produced
sustainable cotton. Furthering RTFC’s mission of promoting
peace and awareness, Tibetan themed t-shirts also act as a great
catalyst for dialogue about Tibet. If you have a Tibetan themed
t-shirt design you would like to share with RTFC, please send it
to peace@tibetanflags.org.
Ideas?
RTFC is a progressive group open to new ideas. We welcome projects
proposals for future initiatives which promote peace and awareness
about Tibet. We especially welcome sustainable, empowerment based
initiatives as well as fundraising project proposals. Please send
your proposals to peace@tibetanflags.org.
