American Himalayan Foundation
Our Team
AHF works with local NGOs and community groups to bring real change directly to the people in the Himalaya most in need. We know the territory and where to intervene to create the greatest impact for the least cost—and everything we undertake has local buy-in. AHF’s headquarters are in San Francisco with a Nepal Country Office (NCO).
