About the Loden Foundation

The Loden Entrepreneurship Programme (LEP), part of Bhutanese not-for-profit organisation The Loden Foundation, joined YBI in 2010. The Loden Foundation is Bhutan's first registered charity and LEP,  which launched in early 2008, will help young people across the country set up their own businesses through a combination of training, moral and technical support, and start up loans.

In 2017, Loden celebrated its 10th anniversary of the Loden Entrepreneurship Programme (LEP) in Bhutan. Since its inception, Loden supported a total of 143 entrepreneurs that created more than 715 jobs in various sectors including agriculture, technology, health, education and more. Loden has trained over 3,180 entrepreneurs all across the country.
