We at First Steps Himalaya are passionate about children and believe that ALL children deserve a good start in life.

We work in partnership with disadvantaged communities in the rural Himalaya to promote early childhood development, community health and awareness.
Can You help us Change a Child's Life today? Find out how.
Durga, one of our Founding Directors, was raised in a rural Nepali community. Denied a childhood himself, Durga is determined to break the cycle of ignorance and poverty and grant children their rights to a childhood. His first hand knowledge provides us with an excellent basis for providing what communities really need.

First Steps Himalaya works at grassroots level to ensure that the community has a voice in their own future. We employ and train local staff who are crucial to our success. We also encourage our supporters to visit the action and see for themselves what we are doing.
