Swiss Himalayan Amity
We create future.
Who we are
We are Swiss Himalayan Amity (SHA), a Swiss-based non-profit organisation dedicated to uplifting communities in the central Himalayan region of North India. We partner with local organisations in Uttarakhand to improve healthcare, education and environmental sustainability.
Our approach is simple: collaborate, stay transparent, and commit for a long span of time. By working together, we can create lasting changes for the people, who call these mountains home.

What we do
We focus on three key areas to foster self-reliance, resilience, and sustainable development:
Healthcare shouldn’t be a privilege; it should be accessible to all.
We organise surgical camps and strengthen basic healthcare. We mobilize medical units in remote areas and support maternal and child health programs, which results in improved access to healthcare in these regions. We also actively promote the education of medical teams.
We believe education is the key to individual and community empowerment. Our programs help provide scholarships and resources to underprivileged children. We provide educational infrastructure and training programs for teachers to ensure growth within the community. Through our Youth Self-Education Program, we offer vocational training to boost confidence and self-reliance amongst the youth.
The Himalayas are breathtaking, but fragile. We constantly work towards conservation of natural resources through reforestation projects, training farmers on sustainable agricultural processes, and helping the community build wood saving ovens and home-based incinerators.
