About AHF:
The American Himalayan Foundation was started in 1981 by a small group of climbers who went to Nepal and Tibet for the mountains, but returned over and over for the people. From our first partnerships with Sir Edmund Hillary and His Holiness the Dalai Lama, we have expanded to now touch the lives of over 300,000 Sherpas, Tibetans, and Nepalis throughout the Himalaya each year.
We take care of people who are in need and have no one else, opening doors to education and health care, building stronger communities, and developing lasting, trusting partnerships. By working in a way that respects both tradition and innovation, we give people opportunity and hope.
