CUDP is powered by a team of Tibetan refugees who bring skill and dedication to every project. Their work provides them with a stable income while helping to keep Upper Dharamshala clean through recycling and environmental initiatives. Together, they turn simple materials into useful products and make sustainability part of everyday life. In the 1990s, Dharamshala had a worsening waste problem, and every passing year with a growing population, increasing number of refugees from Tibet and growing number of domestic and foreign tourists, caused vast pressure on the local environment. Numerous different organizations were working to tackle these problems. To coordinate these organisations, H.H. the Dalai Lama and the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) assigned the Tibetan Settlement Office Dharamshala (TSO) to find a solution, and so in June 1994 the Clean Upper Dharamshala Programme (CUDP) was founded.
