Strengthening Communities Through Education

Himalayan Education Foundation

We believe in strengthening communities through life-long education. We develop deep, long-term relationships in communities, learning from and partnering with local leaders and organizations. Together we invest in the education and the economic independence of the people of the mountain villages

State of Uttarakhand:
The gateway to the Indian Himalayas where traditions run deep,  whose natural beauty belies the hardships of the mountain people and the delicate environmental state.

The Communities in Uttarakhand:
Through your generosity, villagers are creating positive change in their lives.

Livelihood and Community Support

We provide design, business training and marketing support of local products made by women for US and Indian markets. We helped establish a dairy to provide additional nutrition for the students. We provide support for villagers to be trained as naturalists and mountain guides for a growing ecotourist economy.
