What is the Bhutan Nuns Foundation?

The Bhutan Nuns Foundation (BNF) is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2009 to ensure that Buddhist nuns, and other grassroots groups for women, have access to improvements in basic living conditions, quality education and self-reliance to enable women’s successful participation in the socio-economic development of Bhutan. Established under the patronage of Her Majesty Queen Mother Ashi Tshering Yangdon Wangchuck, the Foundation seeks to help make nunneries leading agents and self-reliant institutions for women. It is committed to women’s education and empowerment as a way of enhancing their capacity to support society in its search for Gross National Happiness.
