Project Himalaya: Travel for Education and Reconciliation
Volunteer individuals and groups (especially youth) interested in learning about the third-world areas of the Himalayas, the needs of its people, animals and environment, undertake various projects in order to meet essential needs and learn more about regional cultures. The program invites volunteers to work on a range of projects, including: community education; health care, hygiene and first aid; infrastructure construction and set-up (such as solar power and other village facilities); environmental and conservation projects (e.g. reforestation and land/water care); veterinary and animal welfare facilities including emergency care and clinic support; assistance for refugees, children and families in cities, villages and remote regions through education; and income-generation initiatives; management and coordination assistance on projects for street children and other homeless people; and diverse cultural projects for the preservation of ancient ways of life. Most of the projects are focused in the larger Himalayan region in northern India and Nepal. However, projects are undertaken in other regions where it is possible to facilitate needs in some way, and a network for information on external projects of other like-minded organizations is being developed. The Project also incorporates volunteer work into adventure travel itineraries through pre-departure kits, cultural/language classes, and specific project orientation.

Resettling & Reintegrating Children and Youth Living on the Street
presest ning Hea
The aim of Streets Community Development is to find long-term solutions to the problems and needs of children and youth living on the streets, and to work toward getting them off the streets by engaging their families and communities of origin. The Streets Community Development project provides basic survival essentials and helps to build trusting relationships while youth are still on the streets. The project coordinators contact the relatives of homeless youth to try and resettle them back home. The project also works with other organizations to provide services to families and children to aid successful integration back into society after the children have returned to families.

Global Hospital and Research Center
The Brahma Kumaris helped to establish the Global Hospital and Research Center at Mount Abu in 1991. Founders of the institution envisioned a hospital combining the best in Western modern medicine and Eastern alternate therapies, with spiritual practitioners staffing clinics and wards. The project aims to create an environment in which inner healing supplements physical treatment. In addition to creating a positive intramural environment, the Hospital also brings essential medical care and social services to needy villagers through its Village Outreach Program.
