The dZi Foundation (pronounced ‘zee’) is named for ancient Himalayan beads that bestow health and prosperity on their wearers – a sentiment that has guided our work for the last 25 years. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to sustainable community development and eradicating extreme poverty in remote areas of Nepal.

We envision a world of inclusive, thriving, and resilient communities that have achieved shared prosperity on local terms. We partner with local communities in Nepal to achieve shared prosperity by ensuring access to basic needs, catalyzing inclusive economic growth, and creating an environment for lasting change.
