"In Ladakh's thin air, where survival is already a challenge, we believe no child should go to bed hungry or any mother worry about her family's next meal."
Tsewang Norboo, Executive DirectorBorn from the rugged beauty and harsh realities of Ladakh, CENSFOOD has been the lifeline for mountain communities since 2003. We combine ancient Himalayan wisdom with modern nutrition science to create solutions that don't just feed bodies but nurture resilient communities. From reviving traditional watermills to empowering women health volunteers, our work is written in the smiles of children and the strength of their mothers.

"The Ranthak revival brought back the taste of my childhood. My grandchildren now eat tsampa from our own mill - this connection to our land is priceless."
"After CENSFOOD's teacher training, my classroom came alive. The child-centered methods made my students confident learners, not just memorizers."
"As a Women's Health Volunteer, I've helped mothers in my village understand their bodies. The confidence this program gives us is more powerful than medicine."
