Aligned with The Tibet Fund’s commitment to strengthening Tibetan language education and preserving cultural identity,  Peppa Pig in Tibetan makes early learning both fun and accessible for young Tibetans. A team of Tibetan language experts, early childhood education specialists and voice artists conducted the translation and dubbing of the episodes. “This is another milestone in our efforts to expand access to excellent quality Tibetan language content for young learners. I hope these videos make learning Tibetan a playful, joyful experience for Tibetan children,” said Bob Ankerson, President of The Tibet Fund. 

Investing in age-appropriate, culturally relevant Tibetan language content aimed at strengthening foundational literacy among Tibetan children has been a top priority for The Tibet Fund. We have actively supported and partnered with multiple organizations to design curricula, develop and distribute hundreds of Tibetan-language children’s books, nursery rhymes and animation videos, and strengthen early grade reading initiatives in all Tibetan schools in India and Nepal, as well as weekend schools in North America.

The launch of Peppa Pig in Tibetan coincided with Lhakar, a day celebrated by Tibetans to honor and express pride in their language and culture. This year is especially significant as His Holiness the Dalai Lama turns 90. These animation videos are an offering to honour His Holiness’ visionary leadership of the Tibetan people and His commitment to preserving Tibetan language and culture. “We are grateful to be able to contribute to His Holiness’ vision in a small way, and this Tibetan-language production of Peppa Pig is a heartfelt offering toward that vision. We hope Tibetan children and families will enjoy watching this as much as we enjoyed producing it,” added Mr. Ankerson. 

Developed and produced by The Tibet Fund, this project reflects our ongoing effort to improve the quality and availability of Tibetan-language learning resources for young children.
