The dZi Foundation works in partnership with remote communities in Nepal to create lasting improvements in their quality of life by helping communities take control of their own future through the support of locally-initiated community development projects. dZi provides training and funds that allow communities to complete projects of their own choosing that increase education, health and income-generating opportunities. Their Deep Development program (DD) encompasses the majority of their work in Nepal. As one of the most innovative and efficient programs in the Himalayan region, DD encourages underserved communities to discover their own abilities and skills to create permanent solutions for better educational opportunities and facilities, basic health and hygiene, and income generation.
