Draktsho Vocational Centre

Draktsho Vocational Training Centre in Thimphu was estalished as a service-oriented civil society organisation (CSO) which aspires to enhance the living standards of disabled youths in Bhutan. The Centre strongly believes that everybody should have the right to be independent and equal, the power to choose and to live their lives to its fullest potential.

Disability is prevalent in Bhutan and affects all age groups and although attitudes towards disabled people and other minority groups within the country are slowly changing and becoming more positive, there is still an immense lack of understanding about disabilities and the difficulties they impose. This lack of awareness imposes constraints preventing people with disabilities from living their lives in a way equal to non-disabled people.
