17000 ft Foundation

Know where we have reached

17000 ft Foundation is dedicated to improving education in the remotest and toughtest villages of the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR). By strengthening the existing systems,17000ft aims to stem the desperate exodus of the indigenous communities to faraway cities.

Our programs focus on improving education in Govt. Schools, creating livelihood opportunities, and generating exposure through interactions with the outside world. Today, our work spans Leh & Kargil districts of Ladakh, North & East districts of Sikkim. We aim to impact other similarly remote, inaccessible areas of the Indian Himalayan Region in the coming years.
