Aythos

Aythos Aythos is a US-based NGO fostering health and sustainable livelihoods in rural Himalayan communities.

Aythos is a US-based NGO currently working in Nepal to bring Himalayan farmers the knowledge and resources to create economic opportunities in their villages. Aythos consults with villages and supports their ideas for development by sponsoring training and subsidizing start-up costs for agriculture projects. In 2014, the Apples for Peace project partnered with farmers in two villages to plant 3,000 apple and kiwi trees in the Helambu region of Nepal. It is currently also supporting beekeeping initiatives in other regions, as rural Nepalis use honey harvesting as a sweet way to bring revenue to their villages.

2025 is a wrap! Aythos reached over 100 households in 4 villages through a massive investment in improving agriculture infrastructure, bolstering local emergency preparedness, and supporting girls’ health. There’s much more to come! Thank you for all your support during a banner year!

🌼 Wishing you joy, strength, and prosperity this Dashain! 🌼

As families across Nepal, gather to celebrate new beginnings, we at Aythos are reminded of the incredible strength, resilience, and unity of the rural Himalayan communities we serve.

May this festival bring prosperity to their farms, health to their homes, and peace to their hearts.

Wishing everyone a safe, joyful, and meaningful Dashain from all of us at Aythos 🌿

Part 2 of Aythos Nepal’s Emergency Kit Distribution. Neema and Dolma passed out approximately 100 kits packed with first aid supplies, lights, and other materials for use in the event of emergency. Informed by our experience during the 2015 Nepal Earthquake, we also distributed tarps for shelter, which was critical for families whose homes were destroyed in 2015.

The Aythos team just returned from distributing 100 emergency preparedness kits in Helambu, Nepal! First stop, the nunnery in Ghangyul village, which was damaged beyond repair in the 2015 Nepal Earthquake. Now these nuns are ready for any future emergency with first aid supplies, tarps for shelter, and other items!

Happiest of Birthdays to a great leader, mentor, and person! Dolma is always ready to hop in the jeep and head to the hills to carry out any mission. We couldn’t do it without you!

Food. Shelter. Medicine. These were the immediate needs for Himalayan communities most affected during the 2015 earthquakes. The Aythos team brought together skilled volunteers who were able to assess and treat injuries and sickness. We also had the relationships in Nepal to acquire badly needed shelter materials, such as tarps and metal roofing for temporary shelters, which was critical to protect against monsoons.

Ten years ago, Aythos board members from the U.S. arrived in Nepal, just days after the Nepal Earthquake struck. From the moment it happened, the team was engaged in a whirlwind of meetings and preparation. We met with the Nepali community in Washington, DC and then, upon arrival in Kathmandu, with local partners and friends whose villages desperately needed help. Without these relationships, we would have been like many other well-meaning organizations who showed up to help but didn’t know where to go or how to get there. We quickly sprang into action, bringing food, shelter, and medical supplies to Sherpa and Tamang communities in Sindhupalchowk District. Nothing could have prepared us for the level of devastation we would see when we got there. Stay tuned….

Mothers are an integral part of rural Nepali communities. So many young men often leave villages for work abroad, while mothers often stay behind, raising families AND the food that feeds them. Nepali mothers, we celebrate you on this day!

You were more than hosts to us. The love in your home warmed all the Aythos volunteers and staff who stayed with you. You fed us, treated us like family, and gave us a place to sleep after long days. You gave us memories we will cherish forever. Thank you.

We still remember. Ask anybody who lived through it where they were when it happened, and they’ll remember exactly. For Aythos, it changed everything. We went from an agriculture development NGO to disaster response. Our brave field staff barely escaped a collapsing house then immediately got to work helping survivors. For those in the US, a flurry of planning and packing, waiting for news, and hearing the rumors of friends we lost. When we got off the plane we were greeted by the strength and resilience Nepalis are known for, as people stepped up to make sure help would get to those who needed it most.
