About Us
The Bhutanese Nepali Community of Columbus (BNCC) is a community-based non-profit organization. It is a 501(c)3. BNCC is dedicated to helping newly resettled Bhutanese refugee population from Nepal. It is a vibrant, open, and very diverse community. The Bhutanese community encompasses different religions, languages, and sub-cultural groups within itself.
The BNCC wants to build relationship with other communites through cultural exchange, language and learning, and through partnership building. The BNC aspires to become part of mainstream cultural at the same time preserving its own cultural values, language, and tradition.
It is estimated that up to 15,000 individuals have settled here in Greater Columbus area through a secondary migration and primary migration. Simply put, people move to be closer to their extended families, job opportunities and a sense of community.
The BNCC strives to be a 'One-Stop-Shop' for the community. Partnerships with groups like the Ohio Benefit Bank, Medicaid Managed Care Plan, and ADAMH address needs here at the community center. We are always growing and welcome new partnerships!
