we understand it’s important that you know where your money goes, the people it touches, and the change it’s binging.
we work hard to be accountable and transparent. if you have any questions on our projects, please contact us.
Between 2006-2022 we invested a total of US $440,000 in all of our programs. Working with community partners, we design and implement 96% of our projects ourselves. The rest of our funds are invested in other charities that share our philosophy and success rates.
Through 2022, the 7-29% of the total that was spent on core, administrative and personnel costs was provided through private gifts.
In 2023, we did two years of project work in one, spending a record of $81,000. We also voted to dissolve the HELP Fund that year and in 2024, we paid the balance of our funds to Omprakash Foundation to carry our work forward.
Your donations and investment funds through 2024 of $660,000 went toward the Global Classroom (14%), Himalayan Projects (44%), project related equipment (3%) and 2% was spent on Emergency flood relief. An additional 23% was distributed to Omprakash to continue investment in the Himalayas and support of small NGOs globally.
Our funds come from individuals, donor advised funds and philanthropic groups in the United States and Canada.

In both 2020 and 2022, the not-for-profit investment fund we had our monies held in suffered a large market loss. This is reflected in our administrative costs for those years. In 2022, we shifted our fund to a different investment advisor.
You can continue to support some of the on-going work we started over the past twenty years by visiting the Omprakash Foundation’s HEALTH Inc partnership page or getting in touch with HEALTH Inc in Ladakh and CHAI in Canada.
