Make a Donation

Help bring shelter, hope, opportunity, and good health to the people of the Himalayas.

For gifts of $100 or more, you will receive Tibetan prayer flags to bring you luck and happiness!

Compassion makes a great present!

Would you like to make a gift in honor of someone?  For gift donations, we'll send the person of your affection a beautiful thank you card and a lovely silk khata. (On the donation check-out page, you will find a space to let us know who this lucky person is.)

There's something for everyone.

Would you like to give to a specific project?  Great!  Be sure to let us know which project you'd like to support in the space labeled “Note for AHF” on the donation check-out page.

Here are some suggestions:

$70 feeds a young orphan in Tibet for three months at Choedon Orphanage in Lhasa ($140 will feed a child for six months and $280 for an entire year).  The youngest, baby Sonam, gets a special diet of milk and baby food - you can care for her for a year for $348.

$76 materially improves the life of an elder in Herbertpur, a settlement for Tibetan veterans in India.  Yes, that's $6.33 a month.

$100 saves a young girl from prostitution and keeps her in school for a year.

$150 gives a child life-changing surgery at the Hospital and Rehabilitation Center for Disabled Children in Kathmandu.

$3,800 pays for a day care center in Mustang for a year, keeping all of the children in the village safe, clean, and learning the alphabet (in three languages).
