Dolpo is situated in the very remote West of Nepal, many days walking distance from the nearest roads or electricity. Previously, families who wanted to give their children an education had to send them outside of their region to Kathmandu City or India, which almost none could afford. Now education is available to all families, locally and within their own culture and control. Thanks to the central situation at the crossing of several trade routes, Tapriza Culture School is within reach from all over Dolpo. The school furthers contacts and meetings between different villages, and it has become a focal point for the entire community. Parents visit often, and participate enthusiastically in school activities.
