Dear Community,
Lotus Outreach’s final year begins in December 2025, marking the close of more than 30 years of serving women and girls in need. With over 150,000 lives directly served and hundreds of thousands more touched, we ask for your support as we complete our commitments and help position our local NGOs and partners for lasting success.
If you haven’t already, you can read a letter from our Chair and Founder, Khyentse Norbu, here, reflecting on the legacy of this work.
A Message From Patty Waltcher, President, Lotus Outreach International
“More than twenty years ago, I joined the Board of Lotus Outreach International, and in 2006 I became President after serving as Vice President. Serving the mission of Lotus Outreach has been one of the great honors of my life. Visiting our projects and witnessing the joy, strength, and generosity of the young women we support has been both heart-opening and eye-opening. Their devotion to their families—the parents, siblings, friends, and other girls they hope to uplift with the tools they have gained through Lotus projects—reveals the compassionate human spirit in full bloom.
I am deeply grateful to all of you who have stood with Lotus Outreach over the years. It is bittersweet to celebrate our final year, but I take comfort knowing our impact will continue through the brilliance and courage of the girls we have supported.
Thank you for standing with us now, so we may navigate this transition with grace and fulfill our commitments through 2026.”
We invite you to make a gift in honor of our final year. Our goal is to raise $75,000 to support our beneficiaries and help fulfill our remaining commitments through 2026. We have so far raised $27,150. Thank you for your generosity.
Celebrate Gift of Hope and our three shared decades of empowering women and girls!
Love,
LO Team
