About Us
Hope with Heritage. Action with Compassion.
Himani Trust Australia is the official Australian chapter of Himani Trust Nepal — a royal initiative founded under the esteemed patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Himani Rajya Laxmi Devi Shah of Nepal. We exist to unite the generosity of Australians with the aspirations of vulnerable communities in Nepal, restoring dignity where it has been lost and creating opportunities where they are most needed. At the heart of our work is a simple belief: We do not give to the poor — we invest in their strength. We do not rescue — we restore.
Our Vision
We envision a resilient and thriving Nepal where every individual — regardless of how remote their village, how modest their circumstances, or how challenging their environment — is given the dignity, resources, and opportunities to rise above adversity, unlock their potential, and contribute meaningfully to their communities and the nation at large.
Our Mission
Our mission is to design and deliver humanitarian programs that are not only effective and transparent but also deeply rooted in dignity and respect. By working in close partnership with local leaders, grassroots organizations, and communities themselves, we ensure that the most vulnerable populations are not merely recipients of aid, but empowered participants in building long-term resilience, sustainable growth, and hope for generations to come.
Why We Exist
Nepal is a land of immense spirit and cultural heritage, yet one of the most disaster-vulnerable and economically fragile nations in the world.
Himani Trust Australia was established to change this narrative — with dignity at the centre of every initiative.
A Message from Her Royal Highness
“Nepal is not defined by its struggles — but by the strength of its people. Through Himani Trust, I have seen how a single act of compassion can light an entire path forward. I invite you to walk that path with us.”
— HRH Princess Himani Rajya Laxmi Devi Shah
