Drokpo Nepal

Established in 2004, Drokpo Nepal is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering empowerment and advocacy for the Himalayan and Tibetan communities in Nepal. We originated from a collective of youthful visionaries driven by the desire to enact positive change within the community. The term “Drokpo,” signifying “friend” in Tibetan, embodies the core values of our organization. It reflects our

commitment to be a supportive ally to anyone in need, irrespective of the circumstances. Drokpo Nepal’s primary objective is to fortify the resilience of Tibetan and Himalayan people living in Nepal. Operating as a grassroots entity, Drokpo proactively involves itself in numerous initiatives focused on enhancing the livelihoods and economic foundations of Tibetan individuals. The organization stands out for its dedicated efforts in addressing pivotal aspects, including the improvement of Tibetan and Himalayan people’s livelihoods and economic prospects, as well as the promotion of women’s reproductive health and mental well-being within the community, whose initiatives are executed through culturally sensitive approaches delivered in their native language. Today, we continue to be a voice for the Himalayan people and work to enrich our community by fostering cross-cultural understanding and economic empowerment. Together, we can make a difference and build a sustainable future. We believe that there is still a lot more to do than what we have done. Let’s work together—count yourself in to make a difference. His Holiness, The Dalai Lama said, “If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping in a room with a mosquito.”

Drokpo Nepal is a registered non-profit organization based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Our work depends on the support of individual donors and grants, and 99% of the funds raised go directly into funding our community programs.
