The Himalayan Habre Center (HHC) will be a hub for educational and skill-building workshops where local people can learn sustainable energy use and construction, organic farming, handicraft production, sustainable herding, bio-briquette production, nature guide and ecotrek leadership and homestay management.
Construction began in 2019 and is expected to be completed in 2021. As with all RPN initiatives, our goal is for the HHC to eventually be self-sustaining and locally operated. The HHC will be a conservation and education center. It will improve living standards and increase the annual income of at least 2,000 local families.
Thank you Nordens Ark and Svenska Postkodlotteriet who are collectively contributing $377,000 over three years to construct the CCSL and prepare the facility for long-term impact.
