The Society for Integrated Development of Himalayas (SIDH) is based in Kempty, 12 km outside of Mussoorie in the Central Himalayas. SIDH is committed to providing meaningful, relevant, and holistic education to children and youth. SIDH’s primary mission is to use education as a tool for social change and to encourage a more meaningful exploration and dialogue in the social and political spheres and also change mindsets of individuals.
Currently SIDH operates nine schools from the pre-primary level through high school and serves nearly 500 children in 40 villages of the Aglar Valley in Jaunpur, Uttarakhand, India. SIDH’s efforts also include youth courses, teacher training, educational research, advocacy, and publication units, thus reaching out to all those concerned with quality in education. The SIDH team members have been working diligently in encouraging youth and women’s groups to address various issues concerning women’s health, education, agriculture, and village economies. |
