Much More Than a Business: Tibetan Handicrafts and Paper Pvt. Ltd.
It’s not usual for a private business to do much more than make big bucks, but Tibetan Handicrafts and Paper Private Limited is anything but usual. Its proprietors have a vision of creating a better Nepal, one that meets the demands of international consumers by sustainably exploiting local plant resources, providing the poor with a source of income they desperately need, encouraging bottom-up development, and promoting Himalayan culture. They do so by providing top-quality Nepali lokta paper products at competitive price with a guarantee of customer satisfaction.
The company was established in 1995 by three cousins from Dolkha District—Nima Sherpa, Nimto Sherpa and Samten Lama—who sought to ensure that villagers like themselves who spent hours harvesting, peeling the fibres of and drying lokta shrubs before making sheets of paper in a time-honoured fashion would not find themselves with minimal returns because the long trip to the buyers in Kathmandu ate up all their profit.
Known then as Tibetan Handicrafts Industry, they drummed up customers among trekking contacts, building an ever-increasing network. Today they have over 50 valued customers from North America, Western and Eastern Europe and Australia.
