The Himalaya Project is a nonprofit organization established in 2011, focused on providing sustainable education and healthcare to underserved rural communities in Nepal through academic scholarships for students of Tibetan medicine. By offering varying levels of financial support for tuition, room, board, and living expenses, the organization aims to empower the next generation of Tibetan medicine practitioners. Scholarship recipients, such as Karma Phuntsok and Princess Shah, come from challenging backgrounds and demonstrate exceptional aptitude and dedication to their studies. The Himalaya Project not only funds their education but also supports their clinical practice in their home villages after graduation, ensuring that these students can give back to their communities through traditional medicine.
