The mission of BWA is to ensure the development of support services that will enable the Bhutanese people to improve their standard of living and increase their self worth, independence and autonomy.
BWA creates vibrant activities for all ages, groups, castes, and religions and coordinates opportunities for the Bhutanese population with a special focus on the needy and vulnerable. BWA hopes to encourage and facilitate active participation with other non-profit organisations, investors, the private sector, NGOs, academia and professional organizations so as to achieve both sustainable growth in the Bhutanese community, as well as meaningful interactions and community-building with English society at large .
BWA’s methods for facilitating the growth of Bhutanese culture, social integration and personal development of individuals includes various activities, programs and guidance. It is an invaluable resource for all Bhutanese to discover their strength and potential to thrive at the start of a new life in a new country, by successfully adjusting to English culture while also retaining their own traditions.
