In honor of Mt. Everest Day, we are partnering with The American Himalayan Foundation (AHF) to share more about their incredible work dedicated to helping people in need across the Himalayan region and to giveaway a prize pack featuring a signed copy of Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, along with an audiobook of Into Thin Air narrated by the author, and merchandise from AHF.

Jon Krakauer first became involved with the American Himalayan Foundation (AHF) during the aftermath of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster. For him, working with AHF was a way to honor and repay the immense kindness and courage shown by the Sherpas who helped him and many other survivors through that tragedy. Today, as the Chairman of AHF’s board, Krakauer continues advocate for communities in the Himalaya, supporting the organization’s work to reach over 300,000 Sherpas, Nepalis, and Tibetans in need every year.

Since 1981, the American Himalayan Foundation has empowered people across the Himalaya to build better futures by providing education, healthcare, and sustainable community development. Guided by deep respect for local traditions, the organization works closely with a trusted network of long-term partners to improve daily life, expand access to opportunity, and adapt to a changing world. Their community-driven approach ensures that help can reach people in need in the ways that matter most. To learn more about AHF, visit www.himalayan-foundation.org.
