Our mission

Our beginning

A practical vision for a changing Ladakh.

LEHO came into existence on 1 July 1991. Its founders saw the need for an organization focused on sustainable development, ecology, and health in response to changes in agriculture, food habits, social values, and culture across Ladakhi societies.

A holistic approach

Local resources.
Lasting solutions.

Our work connects land, water, vegetation, and livestock with the age-old traditions and cultures of village communities. Explore the ideas and programmes that continue to guide our mission today.
