Contribute to society through technology and education.

Dabtong House is a non-profit organization coordinating academic and research in Bhutan, supporting the Bhutan AI community, and building a Japanese tea house in partnership with His Majesty's Office.

What we do

A small house, with wide doors.

We fund, build, coordinate, and host — and lean on a network of partners to make each project happen on the ground.

Dabtong (འདབ་སྟོང་།) means a thousand petals. House means a welcoming space. We are the operational home in Bhutan for a set of long-running projects across education, technology, craft, and community.
