Vision
Our mission is spirituality in action—to share, serve, and make a difference. Our goal is to light the flame of compassion in our own hearts, and carry it from heart to heart, community to community, and nation to nation.
The Himalayan Institute’s global humanitarian projects stimulate social regeneration through rural empowerment . We believe empowerment is the best way to fight poverty, and make a lasting difference. Our approach to humanitarian projects is holistic, multi-disciplinary, and spiritually grounded.
Since by far the majority of those suffering live in rural villages, rural empowerment is the heart of the Himalayan Institute’s humanitarian mission. Our rural empowerment strategy includes integrated health care, education, vocational training, and sustainable micro-enterprise, all implemented using the Himalayan Institute Community Center model. Himalayan Institute Community Center activities are designed to stimulate a regeneration of society at the grass-roots—nurturing and strengthening the whole fabric of society.
