International Partners
Partnership and transparency
To ensure sustainable support for the Tapriza School, the Tapriza Association Switzerland has focused on cooperation with partner organizations from the very beginning. Furthermore, the transparency of the projects is of great concern to us. This is achieved because the financing of the school is disclosed both locally and to us, and there is close coordination with our partners in accounting and budgeting.
Friends of Dolpa - Our American partner organization
The American Catherine Inman, who originally stayed in Dolpo for the Peace Corps and repeatedly worked in Dolpo in connection with a national park exchange and a biodiversity project, founded the association "Friends of Dolpa" parallel to the Tapriza Association. With this, she and her team support the Tapriza School and other projects from America. She works closely with us and is a valuable partner with the same goals. Read more on her website!
