Dragon Riders Charity
Bhutan & Beyond are proud to donate 1% of our company revenue to the Dragon Riders Motorcycle Club.
The Dragon Riders, Bhutan’s first motorcycle club was formed on 17 October 2008 by a group of long time friends, all key members of Bhutan’s society.
The sole purpose and charter of the Dragon Riders is to provide charity support to the most needy in Bhutan’s more remote rural villages. It is a 100% not for profit organisation.
The Dragon Riders make contact with the head of a village or dzongkhag (region) to find out whom is most in need of assistance and the clubs funds are then used for this specific purpose. It may be a school, family or number of individuals in need. Once the supplies are sourced the Dragon Riders will organise a motorcycle charity ride to personally deliver to the community and interact with the recipients.
Three to four charity rides are undertaken annually & assistance to the most needy has been provided so far with direct financial support from Bhutan & Beyond as follows.
- Provision of 8 wheel chairs to disabled villages in Bhutan’s southern region.
- Removing a family from an abusive husband and father and relocating them with ongoing support.
- Provision of cooking fuel/blankets & food to needy families in a number of remote villages in central Bhutan.
The Dragon Riders are a ‘not for profit’ organization and all rely on donations and club membership fees for their charity contributions.
