Life in remote communities is what is colloquially known as "the last mile" can be a daily struggle.

We leverage frontier technologies and democratise data to mitigate risk and improve active management and response protocol in local communities.

We promote the sustainable use of local forests and reforestation of denuded areas, improve resource management and income generation, and help alleviate poverty.

We map and monitor high Himalaya wildlife, help to fight environmental crime, and reduce human/animal conflict by utilizing an early warning system.

We support regenerative and green tourism, and promote a slower and kinder way to travel while respecting local people and the environment.

We create a sustainable food supply via regenerative farming of ancient grains, community gardens, orchards and beehives, and applied uses of produce pomace.

We promote waste-to-wealth and sustainable production activities that empower women and benefit the local community and the environment as a whole.

We provide sustainable potable water solutions that help to improve health and economic resilience, empower local women, and conserve natural resources.

We help children to thrive by providing a remote early years education program that teaches essential skills via play-based learning.

Nepalaya Water

We provide scalable potable water solutions to remote communities, mitigating disaster, and protecting Nepal's fragile high-altitude ecosystems.

The HKH region, also known as the "Third Pole," is the source of drinking water for approximately 2 billion people. With accelerated meltdown of glaciers in the region, the likelihood of glacial lake outbursts is rising, leading to disastrous impacts downstream, and ultimately, water scarcity.

We provide a reliable water supply via a 3-phase water collection and purification program.

We collect waste from big mountain summits, villages and along trails to help protect the environment, and create sustainable livelihoods via a waste-to-wealth program.
