We work in partnership with the people of Nepal, Bhutan and the Indian Himalaya to improve living standards through better education, improved health services and environmental sustainability.
Our education program includes training teachers, providing vulnerable students with scholarships and supplying vital resources like furniture, equipment and books to classrooms.
Packed with generously donated money-cant-buy experiences, Himalayan artwork, signed mountaineering collectibles and Olympic memorabilia, our online auction has something for everyone.
Be a part of our community of monthly givers. Starting at just $5 a month, signing up to the Yak Pack is an easy and accessible way to support AHF to plan and deliver long-term, sustainable projects.
We support community health centres with essential medical supplies and equipment and provide training to healthcare workers in primary health, maternal and child health and emergency medical care.
Looking for your next adventure? Book a women only trip to Nepal with Australia's first female Everest summitteer or join an AHF Founding Director on a trek through Bhutan.
In Ladakh, India, we are working with local communities to support snow leopard conservation, prevent human-wildlife conflict and adapt to the effects of climate change.
For many Australians, the Himalayan hinterland is an adventurer’s playground.
But for the remote communities who live there, accessing and affording basic health and education services can be a lifelong struggle – and climate change poses a growing threat.
Our practical and cost effective programs, delivered in partnership with local organisations, aim to support families to not solely survive, but to set them up to thrive for years to come.
