Bhutanese Community of Central Ohio
Every day, the BCCO provides vital direct services, education, empowerment and hope
to the newly resettled 27,000+ Bhutanese refugee population in Central Ohio,
and serves as a national model and resource.
Being a refugee-led non-profit organization means the BCCO - and the broader refugee community it serves - consist mainly of people who have faced great personal trauma, displacement and loss throughout their lives. This shared experience continues to help the BCCO and refugee communities pull together during a crisis -- such as our rapid response to the COVID-19 pandemic, racism and violence directed toward immigrants, or to the recent apartment fires in Columbus. The BCCO draws strength from this enduring sense of community in order to deliver essential, culturally appropriate services, programs, and education which benefit thousands of individuals every year, particularly those most at risk in Central Ohio. This work is also helping to bring greater racial and economic equity so that everyone in our community can rise together! With all of us working side by side, we can help refugees and immigrants move from survival to stability and on to success in Central Ohio. You can make this happen. Please support the BCCO with your gift today. |
When Mary visited BCCO with her father this past winter, Soma Thapa, BCCO case manager, gave her a mask to keep her safe. Mary pumped her fist with glee, taking on new superhero powers. You can now be a superhero too and create a bright future for Mary and many other refugees in Central Ohio. Please support BCCO’s vital work.

OUR Community-centered ModelAs the trusted non-profit with a strong track record of serving the 27,000+ and growing Bhutanese and broader communities, we strive to be a ‘One-Stop-Shop’ for the community's needs and aspirations. Partnerships with groups like the Ohio Benefit Bank, Medicaid Managed Care Plan, ADAMH and many other public-private entities help address needs here at the community center and out in the community. We all grow stronger through partnerships!
The BCCO builds relationships with other communities through cultural exchange, language and learning, and through partnership building. The BCCO aspires to become part of the mainstream culture at the same time preserving its cultural values, language, and tradition. |
