Himalayan Foundation-USA
“Support Vulnerable People, Educate Children their Culture, and Preserve Art, Culture and History”


Mission:
Ensure the acclimation, health, and long-term well-being of the Bhutanese immigrant community in Southwestern Pennsylvania by addressing the urgent needs of its most vulnerable members, facilitating the social and educational success of its youth, and forever pre

serving its rich Himalayan history and culture. Vision:
A healthy and supportive community where all individuals, regardless of age, physical condition, or family circumstances are living productive, dignified, and meaningful lives--thriving in their adopted country while respecting their cultural heritage. A Himalayan history and cultural museum established in Southwestern Pennsylvania to forever preserve the Art, Culture and History of these people. Who we are:
The Himalayan Foundation-USA is a Pittsburgh-based, 501c-3, non-profit organization founded in 2016 to provide quality-of-life enhancing services to the most vulnerable segments of the Bhutanese immigrant community in Southwest Pennsylvania. The Himalayan Foundation-USA defines the vulnerable population as the elderly, individuals with disabilities, individuals without immediate family support, and children as they acclimate to their new environment educationally and socially. We also exist to ensure the preservation of Himalayan history and culture. As our youth acclimate to their new society, language and traditions and culture are rapidly being lost. Communication breakdown is also occurring within family units and the elders can no longer communicate with their English-speaking grandchildren. We as an organization strive to keep this culture alive by providing Nepali dance, language, art and music classes to the children, adult dance classes and an annual Cultural Program. Long-term goals are to have our own physical space (Himalayan Cultural Center) where we can offer all activities and programming, senior “daycare” and a museum to preserve our history, stories, artifacts and culture forever. And as we grow as an organization, our hope is to expand our services throughout Pennsylvania and the tri-state area and to other populations in need. We are a 100% volunteer organization working tirelessly to achieve these goals.

Senior Support.
Hiking and Dry Potluck at South Park.

“On May 31, 2026, the Himalayan Foundation USA successfully organized a joyful hiking day at South Park, bringing together participants from three generations—elderly, adults, and young children. The event was filled with energy, teamwork, and community spirit, as everyone contributed in meaningful ways, from volunteering and preparing potluck meals to fetching water, guiding trails, and ensuring everyone’s safety. It was inspiring to see such collective effort and care, which made the day both smooth and memorable. We hope everyone truly enjoyed this beautiful day of nature, connection, and shared experience.

मे ३१, २०२६ मा, हिमालयन फाउन्डेशन यूएसएले साउथ पार्कमा एक रमाइलो हाइकिङ कार्यक्रम सफलतापूर्वक आयोजना गर्‍यो, जसमा तीन पुस्ताका सहभागीहरू—ज्येष्ठ नागरिक, वयस्कहरू, र साना बालबालिकाहरू—लाई एकसाथ ल्याइएको थियो। कार्यक्रम ऊर्जा, सहकार्य, र सामुदायिक भावनाले भरिएको थियो, जहाँ सबैले अर्थपूर्ण रूपमा योगदान दिएका थिए, स्वयंसेवा गर्नेदेखि लिएर पोटलक भोजन तयार पार्ने, पानी ल्याउने, बाटो निर्देशन गर्ने, र सबैको सुरक्षाको सुनिश्चितता गर्ने सम्म। यस्तो सामूहिक प्रयास र हेरचाह देख्न प्रेरणादायी थियो, जसले यस दिनलाई सहज र सम्झनलायक बनायो। हामी आशा गर्दछौं कि सबैले प्रकृति, सम्बन्ध, र साझा अनुभवले भरिएको यो सुन्दर दिन साँच्चै रमाइलो गर्नुभयो।”

प्रिय परिवारजन तथा साथीहरू ,

हामी आफ्नो इतिहासको एक अत्यन्त महत्वपूर्ण समयमा यात्रा गरी रहेका छौं। हाम्रो संस्कृति तीव्र गतिमा परिवर्तन भइरहेका कारण हाम्रो धेरै सांस्कृतिक सम्पदा, परम्परा तथा पारिवारिक इतिहास पनि संग सँगै हराउँदै गइरहेका छन्। केही पुस्तापछि एउटै परिवारका सन्तानहरूबीच उचित ऐतिहासिक अभिलेख र दस्तावेज नभएसम्म आपसी सम्बन्ध पहिचान गर्न कठिन हुन सक्छ।

भविष्यका पुस्ताहरूका लागि यी सम्बन्धहरूलाई सुरक्षित राख्ने महत्वपूर्ण जिम्मेवारी हामी सबैको हो। यही उद्देश्यका साथ, Himalayan Foundation-USA ले जून ४, २०२६ देखि “पारिवारिक इतिहास तथ्यांक संकलन तथा दस्तावेजीकरण परियोजना” सुरु गर्न लागेकोमा हामी हर्षित छौं।

यस परियोजनाको उद्देश्य व्यवस्थित र अर्थपूर्ण दस्तावेजीकरणमार्फत हाम्रो सांस्कृतिक सम्पदा, पारिवारिक जरा तथा साझा इतिहासलाई संरक्षण गर्नु हो। परियोजना सम्पन्न भएपछि मुद्रित पुस्तक तथा ई–बुक प्रकाशित गरिनेछ। सहभागी प्रत्येक परिवारलाई एक प्रति निःशुल्क प्रदान गरिनेछ, साथै इच्छाअनुसार थप प्रतिहरू खरिद गर्न सकिनेछ।

यी प्रकाशनहरू आगामी पुस्ताहरूका लागि दीर्घकालीन र अमूल्य पारिवारिक इतिहासका अभिलेख बन्नेछन्, जसले भविष्यका परिवार सदस्यहरूलाई आफ्नो ख़ानदान, सम्बन्ध र सांस्कृतिक पहिचान बुझ्न मद्दत गर्नेछ।

यस अर्थपूर्ण परियोजनामा सहभागी हुन इच्छुक व्यक्ति तथा परिवारहरूलाई हार्दिक निमन्त्रणा गर्दछौं।

थप जानकारीका लागि कृपया हामीलाई सम्पर्क गर्नुहोस्।
