Overview
Mission

What it reported doing in 2023

From modest beginnings these technologies were rapidly adopted by communities in the Dolpo region of west Nepal. DROKPA provided grants to poorer households to build kitchen greenhouses and install solar panels as well as established a community endowment fund that will ensure the long-term sustainability of these technologies.
