Scope

1. Bhutanese Empowerment (in the US) 
   • Bhutanese refugee asylees started arriving in the US in 2008 and are nearly 80,000 in number at present distributed across many US states. With a 45% illiteracy, scant knowledge of English, limited skill set, and highest suicide rate among all ehtnic groups in the US, the demographic is a challenge to deal with. Sewa International designated this project as a flagship from 2008-2013 and focused significant staff and volunteer effort towards thsi project.
