Tarayana Foundation: About Us
About Tarayana
Tarayana Foundation is a non-profit organization, wholeheartedly
working to uplift and enhance the lives of people in rural communities in Bhutan.
The Foundation complements and supplements the efforts of the Royal Government
in poverty reduction by espousing the national goal, Bhutan 2020: A Vision for
Peace, Prosperity and Happiness.
Tarayana Foundation was established in 2003 by Her Majesty the
Queen, Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck, as a potential solution to the problems
of the disadvantaged that she witnessed first hand during her tours to the remote
corners of the nation.
Despite the pro-poor development strategy of the government, small
communities in far flung areas are still lagging behind. The Foundation was
established to help these communities achieve self sufficiency through small
and targeted inverventions.
