Delek Children’s Foundation

We are committed to providing education and healthcare to underprivileged children in the Himalayas.

Delek Children’s Foundation is a charitable non-profit organization dedicated to providing children in need with education and healthcare throughout the Himalayan region of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet, irrespective of their ethnicity and national boundaries.

Our mission is to educate the Himalayan children, allowing them to attend High School and College, raise their children with education, and eventually help their communities. Educating these children gives them the proper nutrition and tools to develop into productive adults, have a better future, and continue the cycle for future generations while saving the traditions and culture of the Himalayan people.
