Welcome to our India Hub!
Your home during our Health Promotion Challenge

Set at the foothills of the Himalayas, our India Hub offers a truly unique, immersive, and meaningful travel experience. With support from our on-the-ground team, you’ll work on projects that address real community needs while growing your confidence and skills as a global citizen. Between impactful project days, you’ll wander vibrant local markets, take in breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, and dive into Indian culture – perhaps through a cooking class or traditional tea tasting. This is your chance to experience a side of India few travelers ever see, while contributing to lasting, positive change in the community.
