More information
The Himalaya, roof of the world, is a magic place, but where people often live without basic health care and education. Economic pressures have forced environmental degradation. And traditional ways of life are in danger of disappearing. The American Himalayan Foundation was founded thirty years ago to respond to some of these pressing problems. What we do is very basic: build schools, plant trees, train doctors, fund hospitals, take care of children and elderly, and restore sacred sites throughout the Himalayas. We also assist and encourage Tibetans to rebuild and maintain their culture both in exile, and within Tibet.
