Australian Himalayan Foundation

The Australian Himalayan Foundation is a not for profit aid organisation dedicated to helping the people of the Himalaya achieve their goals - through education, health and environmentally sustainable projects.

While the Himalaya is an area of unsurpassed beauty and grandeur, it is also a harsh and impoverished homeland where for many, basic services and amenities are out of reach.

Our objective is to ensure, where possible, the long term viability of our programs by working with local communities. Our projects in Nepal, India and Bhutan focus on sustainability and empowerment for the people of the Himalaya.
