Make a Donation
Join us!
Help bring dignity and hope to people who have no one else to care for them. When you become part of the AHF family, your gift reaches the most remote corners of the Himalayas and helps the people most in need.
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 in the space labeled “Note for AHF” on the donation check-out screen.
Some suggestions:
$63 gives an elder a year’s worth of rice, tsampa and warm clothes in Tibet.
$86 pays for 100 doctor visits for poor Tibetans and Nepalis at the Friends of Shanta Bhawan Clinic in Kathmandu. (That’s 86¢ per patient.)
$90 lets a Tibetan orphan live in a school hostel for a year: food, medicine, and warm clothes.
$100 saves a young girl from prostitution and keeps her in school for a year.
$120 supports a young nun in her studies in Kathmandu for six months.
$123 gives a child a whole year in a Mustang day care: safety, learning and hot lunches.
$143 purchases a pair of goats ($80 for the billy, $63 for the nanny) so a woman in rural Nepal can start an income-generating business. Baa! Baa!
$150 gives a disabled child life-changing surgery at the Hospital and Rehabilitation Center for Disabled Children in Kathmandu.
$212 feeds a child in Choudon Orphanage in Lhasa for an entire year.
$230 pays for one day of cleaning Buddha images in 15th century monasteries in Upper Mustang. Want merit?
$550 keeps a destitute Tibetan elder safe and warm for a whole year – in a home in Kathmandu or Tibet.
$1,650 gives a classroom of disabled children a teacher for a year at the lovely Navjyoti School.
$2,080 builds a new bridge in Upper Mustang with the Youth Group so villagers, especially young children, stay safe.
$2,880 pays for an eye camp in Tibet, where 50 nomads suffering harsh weather and light, receive sight-restoring cataract surgery.
$9,970 pays for a whole water system for a rural Tibetan village. Clean water from artesian springs means better health and no more hours of women carrying water.
$17,200 builds a bridge for a particularly poor nomad community in eastern Tibet.
