A thousand petals
One welcoming house
What we do
A small house, with wide doors.
Dabtong 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.
Dabtong House does not fund the work it supports. Funding flows through our partners. We coordinate, host, and make things happen on the ground.
