About the Australian Himalayan Foundation
AHF was founded by a group of mountaineers who saw firsthand that while the Himalaya is a place of breathtaking beauty, it is also a place of extreme disadvantage, poverty and hardship for many. We have been working for the last 22 years to deliver long-term, sustainable change to the most vulnerable communities.
