About Us

The Disabled People’s Organization (DPO), formerly the Disabled Persons’ Association of Bhutan (DPAB), was founded by a group of persons with disabilities to recognize the voice of our own. Under the Royal Patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Namgyal Wangchuk – the XXVIth Paro Penlop, the organization was legally registered with the Civil Society Organizations Authority (CSOA) on November 26, 2010.

The organization, which is tax exempted, is governed by a Board of Trustees, whose members are chosen for a certain term of office from among the organization’s members. The DPO has a seven-member Board of Directors and fifteen-member Technical Committee.
