Himalayan Education Lifeline Programme's Mission Statement: The Himalayan Education Lifeline Programme (HELP) is a charity registered by the Charity Commission of England and Wales.
The aim of HELP is to enhance the lives and environment of poor Himalayan communities by supporting the educational objectives of selected health, school and environmental projects.
HELP realizes its aims by enabling responsible and committed people from the developed world to:
- sponsor young people with the potential to benefit from a school or college education, but without the means to do so.
- make a donation to provide grants to individual students, and also to schools and health clinics that lack the means to acquire the materials or premises required to provide a satisfactory service to their communities.
- undertake short-term assignments as volunteers in support of educational and training projects
