The Namdroling School Dispensary Trust (NSDT) is a fundraising initiative which supports the pupils at the Namdroling monastery of Penor Rinpoche in South India by providing medicines and healthcare services.

The Namdroling Monastery is in Bylakuppe, South India. It is one of the foremost places of learning of the Nyingma school of Buddhism, and also one of the largest. Today, there are over 3,000 monks studying and working there, 30% of whom are young monks aged between 6 and 18. His Holiness Penor Rinpoche provides a home, food and clothing for every monk, regardless of their financial circumstances. Some monks are orphans whose extended family cannot provide for them and so they are sent to Namdroling, given

The Namdroling School Dispensary was founded in October 2003 by Tulku Loday Sangpo. Whilst His Holiness provides medical care if young monks require attention by a doctor, around 100 students need daily medical attention for scabies, skin infections, worms, coughs, colds, vomiting, diarrhoea and, of course, cuts and scrapes which are common amongst young children everywhere.
