17000 ft Foundation

17000ft Foundation works across the Indian Himalayan frontier to strengthen public education systems in some of the country’s most remote regions.
What began with efforts in Ladakh has grown into a long-term engagement across the Indian Himalayan Region (Ladakh, Sikkim, & Arunachal Pradesh). Today, we work in 350+ government schools, focusing on building functional, resilient learning environments.
Our approach goes beyond access. We work with state systems to strengthen schools through infrastructure, digital learning (DigiLabs), and teacher capacity building, ensuring that schools continue to function consistently despite challenging geographies.
Through this work, we aim to enable children to learn within their own communities, while contributing to the long-term stability of Himalayan regions.
