Friends of Dolpa is a nonprofit organization focused in the remote mountain District of Dolpa, Nepal. We work directly with local community groups to improve education and cultural preservation in the region. Dolpa has no roads or electricity and little access to basics such as schools or health care. Pockets of ancient cultures and unique natural environments have survived intact in this remote corner of Nepal. The current generation is no longer so isolated. Friends of Dolpa aims to assist indigenous groups in their process of defining and controlling their own development, while maintaining unique heritage and traditions.
