Founded on the belief that women lead lasting change
Tara Joshi Foundation is a women-led nonprofit working with women and rural communities across Uttarakhand. Our work spans education, healthcare, skill development, sustainable livelihoods, and traditional knowledge preservation.
Our approach is grounded in self-reliance. We build programmes with participants, respect indigenous knowledge systems, and maintain transparent field execution over many years.
Our vision is a Himalayan region where women and rural families sustain their livelihoods, access education and healthcare, and keep their traditional knowledge alive for future generations.
Our mission is to build long-term relationships with communities through education, skill development, and livelihood initiatives, measured by the strength of the local leadership they create rather than by one-time aid.
Our Principles
Local community wisdom belongs at the centre of regional development
We commit to long-term community relationships, transparent field work, and the respect for indigenous knowledge that makes every initiative last.
