Our Roots Connect is the name behind Bhutanese Refugee Connect, a website for Bhutanese refugees in camps and around the world, and for anyone who wants to learn.
Anyone can read about camp life, history and resettlement, and see community posts and events. With an account you can post stories and questions, answer other people, list events and group calls, add yourself to the people directory, and send private messages.
Anyone aged 18 or over can have an account. You do not have to prove who you are or show any document. The sign-in page explains how to join.
The history pages link to their sources and say which period they describe. Posts, answers and event listings are written by members, and the site does not check them. Confirm anything important with the organization concerned.
We link sources beside selected historical claims and figures. A source link lets readers inspect the original record; it does not mean every interpretation is settled. The history of displacement is contested, and community testimony and differing perspectives matter.
Conditions in the camps and the services available there change. Check current details locally.
Report an error or outdated detailYou can read the site in English or Nepali; use the switch at the top of any page. If a translation reads wrongly or unclearly, please tell us so we can fix it.
Send a suggestion →Share your own story, not someone else’s. Do not post another person’s contact details, refugee documents, case information or photos without their permission. If something worries you, use the Report link beside it. Read the community guidelines.
