Tapriza NGO

We are committed to education, health, culture, and nature in the Nepalese district of Dolpo. The Tapriza NGO Switzerland was founded in 1998 to support the Tapriza School in Nepal. Soon, additional projects in the region were added, which also enable further education and training for adults, improve local infrastructure and healthcare, as well as preserve cultural heritage and customs.
