Development With Values

Each of our programs falls under one of Bhutan’s four pillars of Gross National Happiness (GNH).

Environmental Conservation

It was with conservation in mind that the Constitution of Bhutan was drafted to include a stipulation that 60 percent of land in Bhutan shall, for all time, remain under forest cover.

Donate

Sustainable Development

Bhutan’s criteria for development are equal parts social and economic. A crucial element to this growth goal is to ensure that these services and opportunities are available to the most disadvantaged populations in society.

Donate

Cultural Preservation

In the quest for development, many countries in the developing world have sacrificed or neglected their cultures and traditions in pursuit of GDP. Bhutan sees culture as central to its identity for its people and as a nation.

Donate

Good Governance

Democracy was introduced in Bhutan in 2008, making it the youngest democracy to be established under peaceful measures.
