Know where we have reached
Ladakh, meaning, "the land of high passes", lies in the Himalayan state of Jammu and Kashmir, India, with over 230 sparsely populated villages, scattered across 60,000 sq. km. of harsh mountainous terrain. A majority of these remain isolated from the rest of the world for 6 months in a year due to severe winters.
Situated in altitudes above 9,000 ft, this incredible area is home to a staggering 963 schools, which is at the heart of the work being carried out by 17000 ft Foundation.
MapMySchool – is our flagship project for each of the 963 remote schools of Ladakh. A software that has each of these schools geomapped and placed on a map of Ladakh,
Yosha, a High School student, and her mother Neeta's 4 day experience setting up a Library and implementing Reading Programs at a remote school in Durbuk, Ladakh.
