Druk Padma Karpo School

Nestled in one of the highest arid deserts in the world is the Druk Padma Karpo School, renowned for its cutting-edge sustainable design and modern curriculum rooted in ancient Himalayan wisdom. 

“The students come from humble backgrounds and are just so eager to absorb everything.” – Mingur Angmo, Principal of Druk Padma Karpo School 

Since opening in 2001, the Druk Padma Karpo School has become a hub for hope. It has served as a venue for the Ladakhi community to learn, host medical camps, stage disaster relief and welcome marginalized children who are often orphaned. As a result, the school boasts an all-female boxing team, nationally acclaimed archers and an award-winning football team. 

A generous donor has offered to match up to US$1,000,000 in donations to finish building the school. The funds will enable students to complete their much-needed high school education in the most well- equipped and conducive learning environment in the Himalayas. 

Please help us to the finish line and ensure generations of future leaders graduate from the Druk Padma Karpo School.
