Our Partners
The International Foundation was created in 1948. Like other early foundations, the International Foundation’s purpose was “to promote, foster, encourage and further non-profit, non-sectarian and non-political educational, medical, philanthropic, humanitarian, scientific and literary enterprises of all kinds.”
In its many years of grant making, the International Foundation has worked with thousands of US-based 501(c)3 organizations to bring knowledge, resources and compassion to individuals and communities around the world. In the mid-21st century, our strategic mission has evolved in concert with the exponential growth in the United States non-profit sector and rapid evolution of the discipline of international development.
At the core of our mission is the concept that charity alone isn’t enough. We must take charity to a level that delivers measurable and sustainable change that is “owned” by the project participants and that leaves broad, lasting benefits. We prioritize the principles of self-determination, local engagement, and sustainability, both as means to and ends of our philanthropic goals. More and more, this requires grant-maker and grantee to share a common view of the challenges, optimal solutions, and ultimate objectives of our partnering efforts.
Chao Foundation and T-Fish Fund’s priorities are aligned with Himalayan HealthCare’s. We serve women and children in health, education and income. We empower women and help them become leaders and role models, to be financially independent and to chart their own life beyond traditional roles and norms.
* Since our partnership we have supported girls and young women to become health providers in their own villages, to continue school and complete college education and vocational training. * We have provided critical obstetrical and gynecological intense training to thirty rural women health providers to become the primary care givers for tens of thousands of women in remote and isolated villages. Thus decreasing morbidity and mortality in women and improving teenage care. * Currently 2500 rural children in northern Dhading are being screened for malnutrition during this Covid pandemic and those less than five years old malnourished children identified will be provided with fortified and therapeutic foods and carefuly monitored to bring them back to good health. 2000 mothers of the 2500 screened children will be trained in diet, hygiene, clean water, sanitation and related issues.
