To preserve and promote the historical and cultural relationship between Bhutan and Nepal, while honoring the history, experiences, and legacy of Bhutanese refugees through documentation, education, and advocacy.
A world where the Bhutanese diaspora is recognized and connected, where truth enables healing, and where the cultures of Bhutan and Nepal thrive through mutual understanding.
Chaired by Dr. D. N. S. Dhakal and supported by dedicated members, the Foundation will eventually be managed by active members from Bhutan, Nepal, and the global Bhutanese diaspora under the rubric of Non-Resident Bhutanese (NRB).
