Why the Himalayas?

The Himalayas are a breathtaking natural wonder steeped in cultural richness, but the region faces many challenges that threaten its communities’ well-being. The Delek Children’s Foundation has the power to make a significant and lasting difference by taking a comprehensive approach that addresses the various needs of the Himalayan people. Here are some ways in which the foundation can make a positive impact:

Education Initiatives: Providing quality education is essential to empowering the Himalayan youth and ensuring a brighter future. The foundation can make a difference by building schools, providing educational materials, and training teachers. By offering scholarships or financial aid, disadvantaged children can pursue higher education and break the cycle of poverty.

Healthcare Outreach: Access to essential healthcare services is limited in remote Himalayan villages, leaving many underserved areas without medical support. The foundation can bridge this gap by setting up mobile medical clinics or health camps that provide essential healthcare services. Collaborating with local healthcare providers will also enable the foundation to offer screenings, vaccinations, and health education programs that can save lives.

Social Support Programs: Vulnerable groups, such as women, children, and marginalized communities, face many challenges in the Himalayas. The foundation can make a difference by setting up shelters for trafficking victims, providing counseling services, and offering vocational training or job placement assistance. These programs can help uplift these groups and offer them a brighter future.

By focusing on these areas and working collaboratively with local partners and stakeholders, the Delek Children’s Foundation can make a difference in the Himalayas. This will improve the lives of countless individuals and contribute to sustainable development in the region. Together, we can make a positive impact and ensure a brighter future for the people of the Himalayas.

Ven. Thupten Donyo started this Foundation on His Holiness Dalai Lama’s advice during the visit in San Francisco in 2007. That year Ven Donyo was able to organize series of talks by His Holiness Dalai Lama at Bill Graham Hall in San Francisco. During the visit, His Holiness advised him to help uplift the lives of the Himalayan children.
