The Kidu Foundation aspires to effectively complement government efforts to address critical issues in areas of education, the rule of law, democracy and media, sustainable economic development, and preservation of the country’s environmental and cultural heritage.

In the history of the Bhutanese Monarchy, the Kings have reigned on the principle of service of the people.
